ITS HOPPER SEASON | CLEAR CREEK BROWN TROUT | DRIFTLESS REGION FLY FISHING | SUMMER TIME DRY FLY

You best PACK A LUNCH if you decide to wet a line in these shark infested waters…
Surrounded by a massive chunk of public land, sits the gem of Clear Creek. If you are near Decorah, Iowa and are looking for a real adventure, this is your spot. A lot of streams in the Driftless Region have relatively easy access to the water. That could not be further from the case on this portion of Clear Creek. Miles of hardwood forest and wild grass prairie protect this wild trout stream from the average angler. Crystal clear water runs cold over fields of flowing water vegetation and house untold numbers of macro-invertebrates (Trout Food). Undercut banks, sunken logs, and deep bends make wonderful homes for big brown trout to lurk. I cannot express how much I enjoyed fishing such a wild stream like this. The occasional song from a meadow lark and splash of a muskrat were the only signs that I was not alone. The solitude of a stream like this holds me tight and beckons me to come back. Each bend holds a new chance at massive wild brown trout. But make no mistake.. This is NO cake walk..You have to bring every tool in your angling tool box to be able to hold one of these impressive fish. Don't let this scare you however, it is worth the work.

Brandyn! Thank you so much brother!! I am just havin fun with it hahaha

[@tightliningmd]

I must say, this is a SUPER tough stream to fish. I can seriously appreciate how great of a day you had here. There is a spring creek similar to this in PA, and I would get OWNED if I tried to fish it. Watching you pick this a part was awesome. That big brown was gorgeous, addy, red tail, magenta spots, just a "dimey dime dimerson" lol. Excellent job man, this really showcased your skills. How big was he? He looked to be 16" plus.

[@FLYALLSZN]

Awesome vid Mike! So sick! Im pretty new to dry droppers but it looks fun! Any rigging tips for an adjustable rig? Rigging video? Keep rockin

[@FLYALLSZN]

I am not sure! I am still in the prototype phase! I don't wanna promote anything too much before I know 100% it has utility! If it is still working good by the winter I will for sure do a rigging vid!!

What hook size are you using for your hoppers and nymph/droppers?

[@sidhansen5744]

All we need is more FIBS coming for our small trout streams ;) go ahead and name drop more why dont ya!

[@robperry9065]

@Sid Hansen you did catch the statement that this was an IOWA trout stream, didn’t you? Of course FIBS would be fishing the great creeks in their state 😀
