BWCA 2018 Episode 3

I woke to Ryan packing up camp. We had plans to be packed and hiking back to the boat before 10 am and I was behind schedule. Did I feel pressure to move quicker? No, not really but we had discussed the night before that the heat of the day …

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 …

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

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 …

March 16th, 2018

I’ll keep this one short and sweet as there wasn’t much to report other than water was stained but totally fishable. Snow is still on the ground in some areas but for the most part the spring flooding outlook from run-off looks very good in Winona Co. I fished a …

BWCA Day 5-6

BWCA Day 5-6

The last two days were spent hiking and exploring the opposite side of the lake, fishing and enjoying the quiet of the lake we were on. Perhaps one of the best parts about this entire trip was the fact that other than the guy who came with me I was …

May 21st & 22nd, 2014: Driftless Spring
winonaflyfactory May 27, 2014 May 27, 2014 Fishing The Streams

May 21st & 22nd, 2014: Driftless Spring

May 21st Hit a short section of creek that I haven’t seen in over a year and in fact I think it might have been almost two  since I had walked these banks. This section of creek offers brown trout and they are typically difficult to catch, minimal nymphing opportunities and …

May 11th, 2014: Evening Brookies

Fished just a couple hours in the later evening with a friend of mine after an excellent bike ride through bluff country. I typically don’t get many opportunities to fish the evening hours and as such I was pretty stoked to get to the creek. We washed the sand from …

March 28th, 2013: S.E. MN Update

The fishing was damn good today, I opted to get out today knowing that snow melt would be causing problems soon and right I was. With air temps climbing and the overnight lows staying in the upper 20’s/low 30’s the spring run off has begun. The creek I fished today …

Minnesota Trout Forums

I was asked to perhaps spread the word a bit regarding a little known information treasure trove. With my hiatus I’ve had time to think about the reasons I started this blog and why I want to see it continue into the future. A central reason I created this site …
