Mikey and I have fished everyday since last Friday. We met up with the Wenzel’s and fished a wing dam off of the main channel near Fountain City. We caught Drum, Catfish, and Walleye here. We fished the mouth of Garvin Brook in 20 feet of water. We anchored on an eddy of poo and [...]

Mikey and I decided over dinner that it would be a good idea to drive to the levy, put in the canoe, and float downstream to the St. Charles boat landing where we would carry the 90-pound boat and all of our gear back to my house six blocks away. We caught Drum off the [...]

Shell and I made it out for some trout tonight and ended the evening with some mating mayflies and unhookable Gar. Shell caught a trout on a crawler. I caught a few on streamers. The biggest 18-inches. Shell found some Monarch Butterfly caterpillars on the Milkweed on the banks of the creek. Although I had [...]

It is always a treat to go camping. This time we had the whole Sershen clan together. Shawn was back from Los Angeles, Mom came out, Tiff and her sons were even there. We made our annual pilgrimage to the Lanesboro fish hatchery where Aries got to see wow trout are reared. We fished Duschee [...]

We are all here. Sleeping in several tents in two campsites. The boys went to Mystery Cave. The men went fishing. A wicked thunderstorm rolled through at dusk, Shawn and I still fished. I caught a bluegill in Forestville State Park. It makes me think that I need some Bluegill streamer patterns to get those [...]

Today I scouted a spot south and east of town in search of more Raspberries. I was treated with a bagful of berries, a Painted Turtle laying eggs, and a bunch of medicinal flowers blooming under a dead down tree.

What a way to spend a weekend with some college buddies than to get a flotilla of canoes to go down the Root River? None. Today was day two. We were on the way out. We had a great night and great paddle yesterday while covering 15 miles of river. The crags were awesome and [...]

The berries are still ripe and here today. I have been hunting the same spots and returning regularly as the berries have ripened at different times. At this point its a battle with the birds as they are keen to eat the sweet berry fruit.

More Raspberries means more Jam. I am allowed a five gallon bucket of berries a day in the refuge.

Today Stino and I set out to get to the South Fork of the Root River. IN all of my majestic knowledge I typically find it a struggle to end up in Choice as I typically forget that I need to go through Rushford and not through Houston. Today I went through Houston and we [...]
