(Iowa DNR News) – Iowa residents can try fishing without buying a license on June 2, 3 and 4, as part of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources’ (DNR) free fishing weekend. All other regulations remain in place. Free fishing weekend is a great time to share the fun of fishing with a kid, your family or a friend. Outdoor fun awaits at hundreds of Iowa lakes, thousands of miles of rivers or a neighborhood pond. Joe Larscheid, chief of the Iowa DNR’s Fisheries Bureau says “A summer of family fun is just a short drive and a fishing pole away. The water is waiting. Get your lines in the water and put your worries behind you.”

Find a list of stocked lakes and ponds that are easily accessible in parks and along trails on the Iowa DNR’s interactive Iowa Community Fisheries Atlas at www.iowadnr.gov/Fishing/Fish-Local. Fun, hands-on fishing events will be offered across Iowa to help families new to fishing get started. Check the general fishing calendar on the DNR website at www.iowadnr.gov/fishing for a list of free fishing events.

Keep the fun going all summer long by buying a fishing license. It’s easy to buy a fishing license with the DNR Go Outdoors Iowa online licensing system at https://license.gooutdoorsiowa.com/Licensing/CustomerLookup.aspx. You can download the public Go Outdoors IA mobile app for iPhone and Android devices to buy and store your fishing license, so you will always have access to your license no matter where you are. Yearly, seven-day, or 24-hour fishing licenses are available.

Enticing a fish to bite your hook is fun for all ages. Get tips for taking kids fishing and catching crappie and bluegills on the DNR website at www.iowadnr.gov/Fishing/Ready-to-Fish.

Iowa came up short in the Big Ten Championship game in Omaha.

That’s John Leo and John Evans with the call on the Hawkeye Network. Maryland used two fifth inning homers to take command in a 4-0 victory. The Hawks were limited to five hits and hit into three double plays.

Iowa associate head coach Marty Sutherland says the Hawkeyes squandered too many scoring chances early.

The Hawkeyes were blanked after scoring 29 runs in three first three tournament games.

The Hawkeyes are 42-14 and find out tomorrow where they are headed for the NCAA Tournament.

(Omaha, Nebraska) – The Iowa Hawkeyes baseball team clobbered Michigan Saturday morning, in Omaha, and advanced to the Big 10 Championship game this (Sunday) afternoon. Ty Langenberg, from Urbandale, tossed seven brilliant innings with zeroes on the scoreboard while waiting for his offense to heat up, then watched as the Iowa bats chipped in with the necessary insurance to remove all tension.

That productive blend propelled the Hawkeyes to a 5-0 win and a spot in Sunday’s championship game, where Iowa (42-13) will face regular-season champion Maryland at 2 p.m.

The Terps are headed back to the Big Ten Tournament Championship Game for the first time since 2015 after beating fourth-seeded Nebraska, 4-2, Saturday afternoon at Charles Schwab Field Omaha. They  reached their second-ever B1G Tournament final, winning 40 games in a season for the fourth time in program history and the second year in a row

Atlantic alum Gratt Reed has advanced to the NCAA Men’s Track and Field Championships in two events. Reed was part of the fifth-fastest 4×100 Meter Relay team in Iowa program history to move on to the next round. Reed was joined by Kalen Walker, Austin Kresley, and DeAndre Stapleton Jr. to run a time of 39.19. It’s the relay’s 10th strat qualification for the championships, the longest current streak in D1 track and field.

Reed also qualified to head to Austin, Texas in the 110M Hurdles. He ran a time of 13.69 in the quarterfinals on Friday to advance on to nationals.

The Hawkeyes wrap up their NCAA West Preliminaries on Saturday and will then prep for nationals June 7-10th in Austin, Texas.
