Des Moines

My brother is living in Des Moines this summer and is a big fisherman. What bodies of water are available to him and what works would be greatly appreciated. He will be fishing from shore.
Thanks

Glenn-
Big Creek, Brushy Creek, Saylorville, just to name a few big lakes…Red Rock Biggest crappies ever, bigger than URL, I have seen many photos in the bait shop of true 20 inch slabs..
You can catch a ton of crappies this time of year from shore at red rock.

There is also tons, of small ponds/lakes that are excellent for shore fishing. DMACC (Des moines area community college) has a ten acre public fishing pond, with a nice walking trail all the way around,..great fishing too..
Tell him to get a hold of me, I can show him around, I should be working in that area this summer..

Good choices Luke plus don’t forget the rivers there too, lots of walleyes and white bass in the des moines plus alot of catfish too.

Don’t forget the Racoon River – lots of eyes in there. Also, not too far south there are a ton of great lakes: Three Mile, Little River, Green Valley to name a few.
