Fly Fishing the Iowa Driftless (w/ free maps) and video

Hey guys wanted to put up some resource's that I have found very useful during the last few years travel to the Iowa Driftless.  These are free to use and provide maps, stream type, access, and a ton of other information that is really helpful.

Links:
Iowa DNR - Trout Streams Map
Winneshiek County Trout Streams Map
Allamakee County Trout Streams Map





 The first, is the Iowa Dept of Natural Resources page.  They have a great website that provides a ton of information about their trout water.  Definitely want to give this a look if you're traveling to the areaa.













Second are the free maps.  You can download the map via, pdf link or you can grab one at the Decorah, IA visitors center or probably any visitors center in the area.  I just mentioned Decorah, IA becasue I picked up mine there a few years back.
These colored maps are super helpful.  They are packed with stream information, parking access, type of trout (wild vs stocked) and provide a written description on the back for each stream.
