Red Rock Tailwater - Below Dam
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
The tailwater reach of the Des Moines River immediately below Red Rock Dam is one of Iowa's premier sauger and walleye fisheries, especially during fall and winter drawdowns. Cold, oxygenated water discharged from the dam concentrates fish in predictable locations. Anglers wade or fish from the bank using jigs and live bait along current seams.
