20180619 fished North Cedar creek this evening. There was bad flood damage last time i was here (two years ago?); and things are looking alot better. There's still drifted trees in spots, but the stream is starting to channelize back into shape. There were a few pools that looked like they'd have trouts: they did. I didn't go up far enough to where the brook trouts used to be; so i don't know how they're doing. But the stocked rainbows were either growing nicely, or they're putting 14 inchers in there/

i just got back from checking out the decorah area streams this afternoon , here's my report
Upper Iowa River back in its banks; BARELY, surrounding fields have much standing water
North Bear 2pm back in its banks, (normally) dry side channels full and/or flowing.
somewhere between muddy and very very very cloudy, vis 2feet?
took me about 30 minutes to hook and land a trout.
tried pools and back waters; no joy , no even a strike
then tried a riffle (pocket water?) and had a strike quickly. Figured was rainbow, but was brown
quit after catching that one, which was on a beadhead green and partridge with wire rib and peacock
Waterloo 3pm back in banks.
between very cloudy and cloudy
took about 20 minutes to hook and land a trout
only fished one spot (end of a riffle and start of a run)
brown trout on beadhead green and partridge with wire rib and peacock thorax (i call this a Green Retro)
quit after that one
French 4pm high, well within banks
between slightly cloudy and hazy (which is pretty bad for french)
I didn't fish, cause i was hungry and wanted to go home
I think (assuming that the weather cooperates) that this weekend will be okay for decorah. I'd fish Waterloo [Don't Forget! parts of Waterloo are catch and release; And access now goes all the way down to the upper iowa] Have fun!
