Fishing regulations to be relaxed at Spring Lake at Koser Spring Lake Park

CHEROKEE -  The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has relaxed the fishing regulations at  Spring Lake in Koser Spring Lake Park in Cherokee County to allow anglers to more freely harvest fish before the lake is renovated to eliminate an overabundant population of common carp and restore water quality and habitat.

Iowa DNR Fishery managers are planning to eradicate the fish population and restock the lake in October. Spring Lake was severely impacted by flooding in 2024, which brought an influx of rough fish species, including the invasive silver carp, common carp, and other undesirable fish species. 

Anglers with a valid sport fishing license may harvest all sizes and unlimited quantities of any species of fish from Spring Lake by any means except by use of dynamite, poison, electroshocking devices, or any stupefying substances. 

Relaxed fishing regulations for Spring Lake will be in effect until Oct. 30. It is illegal to sell fish or stock captured fish into public waters.
