IOWA DRIFTLESS REGION: FALL TROUT FISHING AT ITS FINEST (Fly Fishing Bloody Run Creek, Marquette IA)

When I reflect on most of my previous fishing trips, I can’t say many of them have a Hollywood finish “Riding off into the sunset”. In fact they tend to fizzle out as exhaustion sets in and fish get fewer and farther between. After a short walk down the tracks we played around with the idea of potentially fishing even more. We both decided that we’d give it a few casts and turn back around the bend. The rainbow trout were fresh to the system and eager to take our subpar presentations. We continued further and further into the public park setting of the lower reaches of Bloody Run Creek and liked what we saw. As the sun was setting our “horse” rolled up in a very big way. After sorting through a solid batch of cookie cutter rainbows, a meager Copper John would have to hold as our lasso. My dad stuck into what must have been the escaped brood-stock from the local hatchery.
