In Iowa, the Department of Natural Resources oversees boating regulations and registrations. An interesting requirement for Iowans is that they must have the number of passengers approved for their boat posted on the stern end of the starboard side of the vessel.
Living in the southern shadow of a great fishing state, Iowa can still boast of many fishing opportunities that give ample reason for finding fish in this fertile land that helps feed the nation. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources oversees the regulation and promotion of these activities. The Channel Catfish could be a good state fish.
