North Bear Creek

Stocked by Decorah
Hunting and Camping The Bear Creeks (South, North and Middle) are probably the best known trout streams in Iowa and they regularly receive the most fishing pressure by anglers. These streams combined offer almost 10 miles of quality trout fishing, so even with the popularity there is plenty of elbow room for you to enjoy yourself. There may be no better place in Iowa to do some camping and trout fishing.

Remember also that the trout season in Iowa is open year-round and these streams provide fast action even during the winter. DNR fish surveys always conclude that these streams maintain a high density of trout even during the non-stocking months.
