Meetings and programs at the Des Moines Ikes will resume Tuesday, June 9! We’ll be observing social distancing requirements, so dinner service will look a little different, along with table spacing and number of seats per table. It will be great to get back together and we’re looking forward to seeing everybody!
Donate Your Carp at the Des Moines Ikes to Support SOAR!
Saturday June 13, noon to 2 p.m.
Even though CarpFEST 2020 has been cancelled you can still donate your fresh or frozen carp to assist SOAR (Saving Our Avian Resources) in feeding the birds and raptors they rehab and release back into the wild! Just drop off your carp at the Des Moines Izaak Walton League on Saturday June 13 from noon to 2 p.m. Who ever brings in the longest length of fish will receive an Annual DSM Izaak Walton League membership! We thank you for your support and look forward to seeing you in 2021 when we resume our tournament! If you have questions please call 515-971-2924.

Save Our StreamsThe Izaak Walton League’s Save Our Streams (SOS) program helps people just like you check water quality in local creeks and streams. Share your findings with the League, and we can get a clear picture of water quality across the country – the first step in crafting water quality solutions that work. We can also help you restore your stream to good health.
- Stream Selfie – Say “hello” to Stream Selfie! Show us your favorite stream and help us map streams across America.
- Winter Salt Watch – Protect your streams by safely curbing road salt use. Our Winter Salt Watch program will show you how!
- Monitoring 101 – You don’t need a background in science or expensive equipment to be a volunteer stream monitor. We’ll show you how to get started.
- SOS Equipment – Test the quality of your neighborhood streams today. Check our equipment list to see if you have what you need to get started.
