Abstract
The Cedar River originates near Hayfield, Minnesota, enters Iowa in Mitchell County and flows over 483 kilometers (300 miles) before it joins with the Iowa River at Columbus Junction. Cedar River fishing is excellent in the upper reaches for smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieni) and throughout the entire length for channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus). Several water quality studies (l-4) have been conducted on various segments of the Cedar River but only one on the upper reaches (5). Results of the previous upper Cedar River survey indicated generally good overall water quality with the exception of an elevated arsenic value observed downstream from Charles City.
