I shook the stick earlier this week by finally catching a Longnose Gar. I have had the stick before and am aware that once its gone good things can happen. With that I have never caught a Sturgeon. It has been something of my imagination for nearly 20 seasons. Today I set out to conquer [...]

On the hunt for mayflies today I found none at the usual spot at the Brownsville lookout. Since I was in the neighborhood I decided to hit the lower section of Crooked Creek for trout. I was stopped by the landowner, who was on top of his tractor, and asked if I was gonna float [...]

Every Tuesday I volunteer at Winona’s Maplewood Townhomes. It is called Project Get Outdoors and we cater to all youths. Today was my program day and we were set to go fishing in the backwaters. Many of my kids had never fished before. We started with how to cast and bait a hook and [...]

That Dang Stick…. I was able to get my chores done early in the week which afforded me the time to get my canoe in the water. I wanted to handle a Gar while in my canoe. Kinky, I know. I tied a few rope flies onto 1/2-ounce jig heads, loaded the boat, and [...]

Today I began my hunt for Hexagenia Limbata mayflies on the Mississippi River. I have reports that the hatch has begun in the northern reaches of the river nearer to Brainerd. Mayfly hatches typically begin upstream and hatch in succession down the river like falling dominos. I have a control site at Prairie [...]

We cooked through six dozen nightcrawlers in a few short hours. I got skunked. Chad caught the Channel Cat, in [...]

I have a bike that I can ride to the creek instead of driving my car. Today I chose to take it up over the freeway ridge and down into the valley on the south side of it in order to hit a section of creek that is rarely fished. The drive took me 45 [...]
