Des Moines County
No fish consumption advisory is on file for any of the 18 named waters in Des Moines County.
That doesn't mean they've been cleared
Most waters in the United States have never been sampled for contaminants. An absence of an advisory means Iowa hasn't published one — not that the fish have been tested and found safe. Check Iowa DNR — Fish Consumption & Safety before eating your catch, and see Iowa's statewide guidance, which applies to waters with no rule of their own.
