Good fishery. Pool 15 is not known as the "go to" Pool on the Mississippi but quality fishing can be found. Anglers mostly target freshwater drum, smallmouth and channel catfish which all can provide quality fishing. White bass and hybrid stripped bass are also present and can occasionally provide outstanding action. (2025)
In nearly all cases, Iowa fish are safe to eat. Cleaning and/or preparing the meal causes most of the problems regarding taste or color of fish. Like all living creatures, fish are susceptible to diseases, parasites, and other naturally occurring conditions in the water. If you suspect your fish is affected by any of these conditions, do not eat it. Consider eating smaller and younger fish which usually have lower levels of contaminants than larger ones. Most contaminants accumulate in larger, older fish. For additional information, check out our resources for eating and cooking Iowa caught fish.
