IOWA TROUT FISHING: STREAMER EATERS IN A THUNDER STORM (Fly Fishing Bloody Run Creek Marquette Iowa)

Here is part two fly fishing Bloody Run Creek in Iowa with my buddy Blake! As the morning rolled into the afternoon, Blake just hammered down on them! There was one run where he must have chained 6 fish in a row! It was EPIC. But a front had rolled in and the rain picked up again. It seemed as though the change in weather changed the bite as well. I was able to get on some awesome fish pulling a heavy streamer rig through the deeper holes. It was seriously so much fun strip setting into a couple mean trout. One thing to note! Be super careful on these Driftelss Rivers during the rain! Watch the water levels and get the heck out of Dodge if you see that water starting to rise! But at the same time don’t be afraid of the rain!

Great video. It was fun to watch you guys. I won’t pass up shallow water again without tossing out a few flies,

[@FLYALLSZN]

I sure learned my lesson that day!!

Great video man. Your sasquatch friend definitely cleaned up, but you did well too. The riffles this time of year is where its at. I never pass over that, especially as a tight liner. Glad you found some fish. Nice vid!

[@FLYALLSZN]

Thank you so much! Yeah it was awesome to see! Everyone fishes so different and there’s always so much to learn! Definitely gonna remember that lesson in the future!

Those fish were camera shy. That brown trout was 👍

[@FLYALLSZN]

They were flopping all over haha

Big fella put on the clinic!!!! Seems like hot temps push some fish into fast shallow water in my experience. Congrats to finding the bite as conditions change with temps and water levels. Great video as always!!

[@FLYALLSZN]

He absolutely smoked them! Thank you so much!
