Contrary to reports from the MNTU board that “the creeks were in tough shape(suggested to pay $20 to go to the Great Waters Expo),” I found a creek that was running clear and hatching midge that were loosing to feeding trout. I have worked the fly fishing conference tour for many years and do not [...]

You’ll have to excuse me for this as I do not care to name this creek anything other than Possum Creek. It is named for the Possum that my friend at Winona Fly Factory treed one day while scouting it. Its not that its the best creek in the region or even the worst however [...]

Today I scouted some new water with my girlfriend, her dog, and my buddy Justin, his girlfriend, and his dog. Since we were scouting we did not care to catch fish merely to see them. We saw them. Picking rocks I found that I should, prior to my return, tie up some size 16 scuds [...]

After a long week at school and life there is nothing finer than being in the forest with circling Eagles, chirping Nuthatch, flying Kingfishers, dabbling Wood Ducks, slurping Trout, flying Midge, crawling Spiders, and friends. We spent the day in our usual Winter haunt as we have gotten to know the fish a bit better. [...]

Its the dead of winter. Many anglers are choosing to stay home and watch television instead of being on the water. I for one am out on the creek busy with hatching Midge and feisty Rainbows. Click on the video below to see what is going on deep in the valleys of southeast Minnesota. Having [...]

Today Mikey and I made a four hour drive north through Wisconsin in search of migrating Eel Pout. We arrived, with the help of GPS and Google Earth, around 2pm. The Sun was beginning to dip over the ridge of the river valley. The poor road conditions had me worn and ready to fish. [...]

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 was 9 degrees [...]

Today Justin and I headed to the Whitewater System to do some scouting on some water that neither of us had fished previously. Destination, North Branch Whitewater River. We accessed at the last lot below the minimum maintenance road. We covered nearly one stream mile and found few fish. We felt better about hiking and staying comfortable. [...]

Ahh yes, the ephemeral Winter Trout opener. If one is keen this day means very little save for the day where tradition requires you to stomp through the snow in search of freezing fly line, icy edges, long hikes, and bath tub clear creeks. I was able to convince Justin, WinonaFlyFactory.wordpress.com, Shell, and Bella that [...]

Fishing with friends is a real treat. I have spent most of the last five years on Driftless Area creeks alone. Today I had the pleasure of fishing Iowa with good friend and creek walker James Reidy, Jr. We started on a paw. Neither of us had our day licenses to fish Iowa and we [...]
