The Iowa D-N-R is updating its fishing atlas this week to make it more compatible with mobile and other devices. Fisheries research biologist Lewis Bruce says you can use it to plan your trip by asking it to find fishing spots near your location.
“You can click on those locations. It’ll provide the, you know, the type of fish that are in those areas. the managers of those areas if you’ve needed to call and get updates. So it’s useful from that aspect,” Bruce says.
Once you get to your fishing spot it will use G-P-S to give you information to help find fish. The fishing atlas update is expected to be completed by this Thursday (May 14th).
