Do any of you know the restrictions on McBride for boat size and/or motor size? I know there's a hp limit but I can't remember what it is. Im not sure if there's a boat size limit. Also is there and restrictions on Coralville?
turtlshell said:there's no limit on any boat size or motor size. The old motor size restriction was removed.
It's a No-Wake Lake now...just like Big Creek. Like muddy said, it used to be a 9.9hp lake.
The only restriction on Coralville is you have to drive your boat like a douche to blend in with the rest of them...aka, a 1000miles per hour everywhere you go, especially the coves!
Coralville is low and will remain low due to the MeHeffy bridge reconstruction.
I drove across Mehaffey Bridge yesterday morning when I was out there fishing. Never got a bite throwing tubes and spinners.Is Mehaffey closed yet turtlshell?

Had a much better day Saturday catching trout on Sand Road, caught (and released) 5 and 15 largemouth bass.
Ok thanks for the input. I take it Coralville ain't much good for fishing due to heavy boat traffic?
You were down at Sand Lake...what time? I didn't see anyone catching chit!!! I was there until 1230.
:moon:BTW, stay out of my meheffay fishing spot, too
I read in the paper last week that they won't be closing the bridge completely...at least one lane will remain open it sounds like.Is Mehaffey closed yet turtlshell?
Any decent spots for bank fishing on McBride or Coarlville? Was down there this past Sunday riding around on a boat drinking beer, and the water level on the reservoir was still pretty high. I have lots of time on Tuesday/Thursday morning/early afternoon before I have to be in Iowa City, so looking to kill some time.
Maybe check out the Terry Trueblood Recreation Area just south of Iowa City. Easy access, hearing from a coworker that they have been catching bluegill, crappie and bass lately.
I was catching stocked trout out of it earlier this year.
Here is my question regarding Coralville only fished it twice. Does it always look like chocolate milk?
