5/14/18: In The Rain

5/14/18: In The Rain

I fished from ~11:30am-3pm yesterday and lucked into two factors that made the day. I arrived at my given location to find a seriously large heard of cattle crowding one bank. I spied the water and noted it was stained but with only that medium stain where you could still …

May 9th, 2018: A Brief Reprieve

After many laborious hours staring at a glowing screen to put the finish on a new fly factory film I decided a lack of screens and the sound of the stream was much needed. I fished from 11-2pm and managed to touch close to twenty or more browns all smaller …

winonaflyfactory May 2, 2018 May 2, 2018 Fishing The Streams

4/30 & 5/1/18: Two Hearted

I spent the majority of the past two days fishing larger water with two guys who both love fishing for trout almost as much as me and enjoying a handful of one of my favorites, bell’s two hearted ale. Thursday I met up with Ryan and fished late into the …

4/29/18: Sunday with June

Fished with my daughter June and a good friend today from 10am-3pm. Given the time of year and the high likelihood of running into other anglers we decided to do some exploring figuring if someone was already on location we would just go find another place to hike around. I’ve …

4/26/18: Spring Streamers

I went back to some dirty streamer water yesterday. Dirty as in nasty, as in nasty big fish live here not dirty as in stained or nasty as in unclean. This kind of water holds much fewer trout and it’s big, wide water, mostly sand and muck bottom with the …

Dry Flies: 4/25/18

Dry Flies: 4/25/18

I call it “the show” and it started in earnest at 1:35pm and lasted until roughly 3pm today under sunny skies and an air temp of 61°F. I arrived at 11am and put on a very lightly weighted streamer for the hike downstream. Wet wading season is finally here and …

Responsible Harvest in the Driftless

Responsible Harvest in the Driftless

After the opening weekend and recent discussions with other anglers I wanted to post what I use as “guidelines” to practice the responsible harvest of trout on our southeast Minnesota trout streams. Some anglers are turned off by the idea of harvesting trout but I believe that some of our …

A Busy Weekend: 4/21 & 4/22/2018
winonaflyfactory April 23, 2018 April 23, 2018 Fishing The Streams

A Busy Weekend: 4/21 & 4/22/2018

I fished both Saturday and Sunday this past weekend. Going into the weekend I had tempered my expectations for a couple of reasons. 1st, the weekend had the best weather we’ve had since last fall and because the opening weekend was a bust for many I knew anglers would be …

Thoughts on Driftless Streamer Fishing

I should start by prefacing this with a disclaimer, I am not an expert and I’m not claiming to know it all. I taught myself then compared notes and information with other like-minded anglers who fish similar water in this area. I tend to fish streamers more often than not, …

4/10 & 4/11/2018

I’ll be brief, conditions the past two days have been excellent. Tomorrow will be the same or better for dry fly fishing and being outside in general, I plan to take advantage of it while I can. I spent a few hours under cloudy skies on the 10th tossing a …
