Iowa Walleye Fishing Lakes

Residents of Iowa are blessed with many walleye fisheries across the state. The Iowa state record walleye was caught in the Des Moines River but the vast majority of walleyes come from major lakes with cold, deep waters. Some of the larger lakes with populations of walleye include Big Creek Lake, Big Spirit Lake, Black Hawk Lake, Brushy Creek Lake, Clear Lake, Coralville Lake, East Okoboji Lake, Five Island Lake, Lake Icaria, Lake MacBride, Rathbun Lake, Saylorville Lake, Spirit Lake, Storm Lake, Three Mile Lake, Tuttle Lake, Twelve Mile Creek Lake and West Okoboji Lake.

Iowa walleye spawn in spring and when they have the option will choose to migrate from the lake up into feeder streams to spawn. If this option is not available they seek out shallow bars or shoals with clean bottom surfaces near deep water.
