Video log of a local trip to Trout River in Winneshiek County on Monday, July 1, 2024. Trout River contains wild brown trout, as well as stocked and holdover rainbow trout.
The video log is from the upstream public access portion of the fishery, one of the last remaining sections of Trout River I had yet to fish. It was relatively tight and woolly. The water had a slight stain from prior rains.
My friend Dre and I had a particularly fun day together despite the balky brown trout and the multitude of tree and brush snags, lost flies, and long-line releases (almost all of which are absent from the video).

I love all the info you provide in your videos, even the flies you use. I appreciate this. Thanks

You’re most welcome. I’ve evolved to the current format thanks to several excellent recommendations in the comments. 😊

Gary that looks like a great creek and you both killed it while it was chocolate milk! That last brown was so beautiful with the spots so spaced out! That’s another part of tenkara I love so much, seeing each individual amazing fish! Well done my friend!

@@tenkaragenki Thanks Jared! Actually the stain to the water wasn’t too bad but the browns weren’t real interested in eating. I definitely learned a lesson not to forget my wading boots at home, I know how much you hate crocs. 😂 Thought I’d include that footage of me falling on my a$$ as a reminder!

Thanks for another enjoyable video. It's interesting how the color patterns on the brownies vary from stream to stream. The ones shown in this video seemed to have fewer black spots and more orange spots than many I've seen. When the DNR first acquired it in the mid-70's, that section of Trout River had been open pasture and corn fields---not many tree gremlins then. I caught my first brown trout on my first fly rod at Trout River in the fall of my junior year at college. I try to spend at least a little time fishing Trout River whenever I'm in the area.

Thanks Steve. I wasn’t aware of that history, very interesting. I’m always amazed at the diversity of the brown trout in the area, even out of the same creek. It’s curious that of the few browns we did catch out of there, they were all very sparsely spotted. Missed you at the Wisco campout this year.

I love your videos man. How would you and Dre compare the Itoshiro and the ONI Type 3?

@tenkaraintheiowadriftless 21 день назад

Glad you find value in them Mike! I confess I don’t have any experience with the Type-3. It’s marketed as being more appropriate for less experienced anglers so I’m guessing some of the sections are a bit more robust.
