Winter Creek Rainbows; how to video.
This is the first episode for the 2010 season of On The Water. Filmed entirely in southeast Minnesota.

2009-FavoriteCatches
2009 brought about a season of firsts for me. Although I am weathered by angling and 2010 marks my 30th season I am still catching new species of fish and finding new ways to catch the old species of fish. Fishing is still a constant challenge that I welcome regularly. Whether it be getting to [...]
2009-10-03_StCroixRiver
After the past weekends fishing adventures I thought I would bring it to the attention that after at least 28 seasons on the water I have added three new species to my list this season. This last one being one of the most triumphant. Being a mystical fish the Lake Sturgeon has been a target [...]
Angling for our Native Lake Sturgeon
Lake Sturgeon are classified as rare species by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Lake Sturgeon, Acipenser fulvescens, are of special concern to the MDNR however not to the federal level. Nationally these fish are caught in the northern states. Traditionally this species was a food base for Native Americans living in the river woodlands. [...]
2009-08-30_TroutRunCreek
Today Justin and I set out to catch some fish. he had never fished Trout Run before so I took him to a spot where, more times than not, I traditionally caught large native Creek Chubs. This section of stream went under the knife a few years back. In the process of “habitat restoration” it [...]
2009-08-23_BackcountryCreek
Today the hunt to handle George is in its eighth month. I have nothing to report save for I did not see this extraordinarily large in stream Brown Trout today. The grass in the pool that she lives is thick and I hope that she was in there instead of facing a trophy hunters fate. [...]

This group is composed or predominately native species. Angling for these species is largely unregulated compared to sport species and an “angler” can net, shoot, or spear huge limits of [...]

2009-07-03_RootRiver
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 [...]
2009-07-02_CrookedCreek
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 [...]
