We spent days three and four exploring the lake we were on by both canoe and foot. We hiked the portages we hadn’t used, hiked the woods and the stream that flowed out of our lake down to the small river it formed. I also learned a lot about fly …
The goal for day two was to navigate to a remote lake inside a PMA and see if it contained fish. The DNR data on some of these lakes is from 1988 and some don’t have any data at all. This one the depth was totally unknown and the DNR …
So I’ve been fishing, been tying and figuring out how to balance two jobs and a new baby. So far so good. Haven’t posted much this year, would like to change that in the future. Here is the first 48hrs of my BWCA trip this year that I planned my …
Just a few summer images from a couple stellar days, one with a good buddy of mine. Browns and Brookies smacking streamers, stimulators and nymphs. Saw some old water I haven’t visited in a number of years and also saw an entirely new creek packed with Brook trout. Caught a …
Let me start by saying that I live in the country and I take very seriously property rights and privacy. I would have a problem with someone not known to me accessing my property without speaking with me first. We have a decent amount of access to water through the …
Hit a local spot for five Browns in the right size range, the Black Wet Fly is amazing this time of year. If you don’t know about this fly you should. I’m tossing the video I made a few years ago below this if you are interested in learning how …
A number of years ago I stumbled across a stretch of creek that I named the 5S, that would be the Super Secret Sexy Streamer Stretch, the 5S. Today, I found a second 5S. The water is bigger, it’s marginal, it’s snaggy and it’s brilliant. No one fishes this kind …
Air temp: 78degrees. Minimal wind. Water: Clean and clear, normal to slightly high. Sunny skies, minimal clouds. Had a couple hours around mid-afternoon and decided to hit a spot. Recent high-water has flushed this place clean and the difference cannot be overstated. Everything looks amazing, the water is deep and …
For those of you wanting to fish this weekend I would say get after it. The creeks seemed to bounce back very well after the moderate flooding seen on some streams. The more water I look at the more it’s evident that flooding was more localized than widespread. I fished …
Just a quick post regarding the rain and what I observed yesterday. I fished clean water from 3-6pm yesterday, hot and humid conditions with a mixed bag of sun and clouds leading to some scattered precipitation. I fished a small streamer attempting to capitalize on the behavior of aggressive large …
