Interior water levels have fallen and are providing catches of smallmouth bass, walleye and channel catfish. Check the USGS website (https://waterdata.usgs.gov/ia/nwis/rt) for most recent river levels. Lakes in and around Cedar Falls/Waterloo have been productive for crappie, bluegill and largemouth bass. Trout streams are in excellent condition, for further information contact your local bait shop for most recent reports.
Anglers have been catching crappie and bluegill on Lake Delhi, some sorting may be necessary. Avoid weekends and evenings due to heavy boat traffic.
Black Crappie - Good: Cast lighter jigs tipped with plastics for some great action, fish near structure or docks for best success.
Bluegill - Good: Cast lighter jigs over spawning beds or small piece of crawler under a slip bobber
