Raccoon ends in Des Moines. Flows from the Northwest. Near Van Meter the Middle and North Raccoons come together. The river has good flathead and channel populations. The previous state record Channel 38# came from the Middle Raccoon Near Redfield. I know that a 46# flathead was caught north of Adel on the North Raccoon this summer. Of course as is the case in most of Iowa, the river runs thru Private property. One must ask permission to access it. I've enjoyed very good success on the "****"

I fish the racoon and des moines rivers. I am fishing for big flathead but I have not caught one yet. Hopefully soon I will.
