Fly Factory Films: Searching

Blood, sweat and tears went into this project. I tried to push myself beyond my comfort zone, working harder to tell a story and to move away from only images set to music. I started, then restarted this project more times than I can count but I never give up. …

May 9th, 2018: A Brief Reprieve

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 …

Video: The Caddis

Long leaders, tiny flies and rising trout. This is what I remember about my first few years as a trout angler in southeast Minnesota and I was fortunate enough to catch it again yesterday. Nothing except my daughter (she’s 14 months old now) is as challenging to film and photograph …

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

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 …

Video: Rising Brookies

I couldn’t wait and felt I had to upload this brief video of these driftless brook trout rising to #20 and #22 midge. I slowed this footage down 50% and using a polarizing filter I tried to make it as clear as possible. The vantage point we had high on …

4/7 & 4/8/18: Winter In April

Those of you who read this are well aware that we’ve been experiencing colder than normal days this April. It’s easy to get discouraged when the sky is grey, the ground is a combination of muddy brown and patchy white, the bluffs are now totally snow covered and the creeks …
