Fall fishing for Iowa’s prized trout

Fishing Iowa’s trout streams is a unique way to enjoy the cool fall weather and marvel at the amazing colors of Iowa’s prize trout. Male brown and brook trout display their brightest, most vibrant spawning colors this time of year. Iowa boasts some of the most beautiful and plentiful trout streams in the Midwest. A true angler’s paradise, Northeast Iowa is dotted with hundreds of miles of trout streams. From easily accessible streams in state or county parks, to those found in Iowa’s most wild and remote natural spaces, there are plenty of places to catch rainbow, brown and brook trout. Although a little late for peak fall colors, the bluffs, valleys and rock outcroppings offer spectacular views. View some of the best bluffs in Northeast Iowa, starting with the narrow valley of Paint Creek, west of Harpers Ferry. Several overlooks provide excellent views of the stream valley from above. Catch stream-reared brown trout up to 18-inches and 10- to 12-inch stocked rainbow trout in the Maquoketa River. Several public access points connect to miles of river in Clayton and Delaware counties. Find rainbow trout in pools and runs while brown trout will be near wood habitat. The best chance
