My Leaky Waders: Father & Son

My Leaky Waders: Father & Son

I met David Nash a few years back when him and his father got out with me on an excellent late April day. I’ll never forget the fish his dad landed on his tenkara rod while we were out, a beautiful full bodied brown trout that made the day. If …

The First Half: June 14th, 2018
winonaflyfactory June 18, 2018 June 18, 2018 Carp on the Fly / Fishing The Streams

The First Half: June 14th, 2018

I fished with Carl from ~10:30am-11pm on the 14th. The initial plan was to hit a series of beaver ponds for larger browns then during the hottest part of the day find brookies hopefully hitting dry flies. The last time we fished this water it became apparent that it would …

Interview: Dr. Biederman
winonaflyfactory June 11, 2018 June 11, 2018 Everything Else... / The Naturals

Interview: Dr. Biederman

A couple months back I sat down with Assistant Professor of Biology at Winona State University Dr. Jennifer Biederman to discuss trout, trout streams, invertebrates and the research going on in the driftless area. Dr. Biederman lives near Winona on a local trout stream I am quite fond of. She …

Wet Wading and Summer Gear

Wet Wading and Summer Gear

Over the years I’ve changed and adapted my gear for wet wading to better suit my needs in the driftless area. Wet wading here for me doesn’t mean I’m in the stream all the time, often I think most of us try to avoid being in the water for the …

5/31/18: Nymphing
winonaflyfactory June 1, 2018 June 1, 2018 Fishing The Streams

5/31/18: Nymphing

I took the afternoon to visit a spot that I hold in high regard. It’s on private property and I’ve built a rapport with the owners over the past eight or so years simply by taking the time to get to know them and respect their property. These folks are …

Carping Thoughts & Notes: 5/29/18
winonaflyfactory May 30, 2018 May 30, 2018 Carp on the Fly

Carping Thoughts & Notes: 5/29/18

Initial thoughts and a warning: This post is going to be long, a lot to unpack here and a lot to learn. I fished for the same specie in two very different environments, notable the needed change in approach and understanding between the two. The first story is of a …

5/25/18: Summer is Here
winonaflyfactory May 28, 2018 May 28, 2018 Fishing The Streams

5/25/18: Summer is Here

Summer is here as evidence by the thigh high burning nettles, the heat and the jungle growing fast around us. Ryan and I met up to fish a spot I’m well acquainted with. This place is hard to hike this time of year and certain sections almost demand wading the …

Carping: 5/18 & 5/19/18
winonaflyfactory May 19, 2018 May 21, 2018 Carp on the Fly

Carping: 5/18 & 5/19/18

It’s been years since I touched a carp, not because it doesn’t intrigue or interest me but more that during my fishing lull caused primarily by a desire to race my road bike and the birth of my daughter I just didn’t have the time to find carp. I used …

winonaflyfactory May 15, 2018 May 15, 2018 Fishing The Streams

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 10th, 2018

I was out in the later afternoon from 3-5pm enjoying the sun and beautiful weather yesterday. I arrived and noticed a couple random caddis skittering around, saw a rising trout or two but opted to fish some deeper holes so I put on my sinking leader and a heavier streamer. …
