About Bloody Run Creek
Bloody Run Creek near Marquette in Clayton County is one of Iowa's most-protected and most-celebrated Driftless trout streams — catch-and-release only, artificials only, with strong populations of wild brown trout and brook trout in cold headwater reaches. Small, technical limestone-spring water in classic coulee country. The protected status reflects decades of habitat work and the stream's importance as a Driftless reference fishery.
