NE Iowa revisited...creeks are in great shape...hatches were sporadic BWO and tan caddis...large majority of fish caught on PT nymphs.

Working Flies

New Moon in May

Smaller flies, calm conditions, clean water, stealthy approach...

Today's Range

(Un)lucky 13th

The water was much cleaner today, and after tying a few herring patterns I was out, fishing the flooding tide. Got into several small guys, and after changing the spot, hooked into a monster fish. In spite of a stout drag and 15lb tippet, the fish went quite a bit into backing and I wasn't able to turn him. I could see a huge surface boil in a distance, and my tippet parted right in the middle. I love this time of the year. You never know what will come next!
