About Volga River

The Volga River in Clayton County, northeast Iowa, is a medium-sized Driftless trout stream with wild brown trout in the spring-fed reaches and brook trout in cold headwater refuges. Public-access easements through Iowa DNR mark prime trout water. Classic limestone-spring-creek fishing in less-pressured Driftless country.
