IOWA DRIFTLESS REGION: THESE DRIFTLESS TROUT WERE FIRED UP!! (Fly Fishing Paint Creek, Marquette IA)

This is going to be part one of a cheeky review session for a new indicator system that could very well take over the market! GHOSTech Stroke-Indicators reached out and sent me a little care package full of their innovative indicators! This was meant to be a field test to see if I even liked them and whether or not they could suit my fishing style! I would say that I am super specific about my rig, so they had some lofty expectations to uphold! For part one, I could not have been any happier with how it performed. Like anything new, it took some getting used to! I had to shorten my leader and fiddle with the pucks needed to hold up my heavy rig! Once we got it all dialed in, it was game on! I managed to catch some really big brown trout (I thought they were big lol) and some super spunky wild/stocked rainbows! I was so surprised Paint Creek was nearly empty on a warm spring day, but I had the river to myself. That was an absolute treat.

Mike again very cool video. Love that area. Great water access too. Those indicators looked like a cool concept. Glad to see they fished ok too.

Great day, once again you pounded em... I'm heading up there in a few days, can't wait!

[@FLYALLSZN]

Scott Rick give them hell! You’ll have to let me know how you do!! Thank you so much!

Good company. Met them and bought some at a Fly Show. Nice small business that is doing quite well for themselves. Super light when it hits the water, and does the same trick as other indy's. Nice to have a variety of colors too! Great job netting that slab. Suns out guns out man!

[@FLYALLSZN]

Tight Lining MD they really are great! I had such a fun time testing them out!!

Hi. Great video. I usually fish French Creek but would like to do more fishing at Paint. Would you mind sharing where you accessed the river?

[@davidspoonholtz6900]

Thank you!!

[@uncagedbeast22jeehe7]

Why do you only fish trout

[@FLYALLSZN]

I used to fish a lot of bass and carp when I was younger! Just havent gotten around to it yet! I'm sure I will!

Whatever happened to the ten second rule. You handle your fish way to much and way to long.
