(Radio Iowa) – Warmer weather is finally here and Iowans who love to fish are getting out on — or beside — their favorite bodies of water, casting lines and seeing what they can catch. Nate Carr, a state D-N-R conservation officer from Eldora, says besides your fishing pole and the tackle box, there’s one other important thing you should bring along. “If you’re 16 or older and you’re fishing in public water, you’re required to have a fishing license,” Carr says.

“All that goes to help promote and manage the fisheries that we do have. There’s a lot of work from our fisheries bureau that goes towards surveying lakes, trying to understand how our population is doing, and how to best manage that body of water.” Fishing regulations do change from year to year, and Carr says you’ll want to keep up or risk getting a fine.

“Depending on where you’re fishing, length limits and daily limits, you may see some differences whether you’re fishing in the river or a lake,” Carr says. “So it’s a good idea to find yourself a fishing reg booklet for 2023.” He says you don’t need to look far to get the full rundown of state fishing regulations. “Honestly, one of the easiest ways to come across that is, just to go on our website — iowadnr.gov — and you can search ‘fishing regs’ and download a copy to your phone or your laptop or whatever you have handy,” he says.

The annual Iowa Free Fishing Weekend is scheduled for June 2nd through the 4th.

Iowa baseball coach Rick Heller reached a milestone with 15-3 win over Ohio State on Saturday. It was Heller’s 1,000th career victory. He is in his 36th season as a head coach in a career that began at Upper Iowa and has also included stops at Northern Iowa and Indiana State.

Heller knew as a 12-year-old he wanted to be a coach.

Heller says his career has flown by.

Heller became the head coach at Upper Iowa in 1988, two years after his playing career with the Peacocks ended.

The Hawkeyes are 10-7 in the Big Ten and 34-12 overall. They lost to Ohio State on Sunday, 2-5, and a chance to sweep the series.
