OBTU Iowa Driftless Area Chapter Fishing Outing

This year’s Iowa fishing outing will be based in the Decorah which is part of the “Driftless Area”.

Similar to last year, we are planning a loosely coordinated trip:

-Participants will arrange their own travel plans, schedules, and lodging.   The Decorah area offers a variety of motels, lodges, and camping options.  For those interested, we will make a best effort to coordinate ride sharing, convenient lodging, etc.

-We will make plans to meet for group breakfasts and dinners for those interested. Of course, you are free to make your own meal plans.  Meal cost will be “on your own”.    We recommend that participants plan for their own sack lunches on the trout streams which are usually remotely located.

-We will make efforts to faciliate fishing plans for the group.    For those interested, we will pair you up with others.  If you are new to fly fishing for wild trout, or new to the area, we will point you in the right direction.   if desired, we will pair you up with a fellow TU member who can offer some coaching/guiding.   Professional guides can be arranged at your own expense.   There is an abundance of good water.  We will make a best effort to put everyone on some good fishing.  Of course, if you prefer solidtude, you are free to go off and be one with nature on your own.   We’ll do our best to help everyone have an enjoyable trip.
