Photos should be sent via email to Jeff.Kopaska@dnr.state.ia.us
The email must include the species, date of catch, and location. If possible, it should also include a length and/or weight of the fish. Photos of a nice stringer of fish may also be considered.

Files sizes of photos submitted should be less than 500K, and preferred files types are .jpg, .gif, and .tif
Photos displayed on the website will be 300 pixels wide, and less than 100K in size, so submission of photos formatted in this manner is appreciated.

Legal Statement - the paragraph below basically means that if you send us a photo, you are allowing Iowa DNR to use it on the website, in The Iowa Conservationist magazine, or in the annual big fish report. The term non-exclusive license means that you can use the picture however you want, but we can use it too. Please don't be scared away by these statements, we are just trying to protect both your interests and our interests.

By submitting a fishing photograph, you are granting the Iowa Department of Natural Resources a non-exclusive license to use and reproduce the photograph for all such purposes as the department may deem appropriate. Examples of potential uses include the Iowa Fishing Photos web site, The Iowa Conservationist magazine, and the annual big fish report.
