The Mississippi River sturgeon are active.
They are busy porpoising and breaking drum anglers lines. Thankfully, they take the time to give me the fin when they break. Being sturgeon, they like to jump, these particular sturgeon jump like porpoise when a standing wave rolls from the dam gates over them.
I counted five sturgeon breaks an [...]

Stino and I decided to get out while we could and we didn’t tell our girlfriends. We opted for the 10 – minute drive to Pickwick Creek to get the fishing in before it gets dug up by Trout Unlimited. The creek is slated to get “habitat improvement” for the introduced exotic Brown Trout.
I [...]

That Dang stick.

Another day, another creek, another frozen guide. I called Justin at 10.30am because I noticed that he had been scouring my website for information. I figured that he would be around at that point and ready to go fish in the sun. The high was forecasted to be 28 degrees and it [...]

Justin had [...]

Today, Stino and I made our way to Crow Spring Brook in search of Brookies.
We found none however we saw a bit of surface activity. The weather was unstable and we enjoyed our short amount of time on the water.

Today Stino called me and talked me into going for some trout. We headed to Stockton.
The fish were in their usual haunts and were taking large nymphs that were swam as emergers, caddis dries, pink labs, and flash back PT’s.
We took several dozen fish in a few hours without walking more than a mile. [...]

Today was a great day as we had six canoes and ten riders.
We launched at Rushford’s canoe landing. We parked the take out vehicle at Vinegar Ridge.

Today Bella and I hit the creek. We needed a break from selling crap at our garage sale. I shot some video and took a few photos.
The fishing was great. I caught numerous Brown and Rainbow trout on deep nymphs. The wildflowers were in full bloom including Phlox and Trillium.
