Short Film: Goldilocks

Short Film: Goldilocks

When you managed to find fishable water amidst a swath of blown streams you should be pretty pleased but to be able to find a stream that’s not a little stained and not a river of mud but instead is just right with the perfect amount of moderate stain you’ve …

Goldilocks: 6/21/17

Goldilocks: 6/21/17

By Wednesday June 20th southeast Minnesota had received a significant amount of rain and going into Thursday it was predicted to continue raining on and off overnight. I figured if I could find cleaner water in the rain then I would find eager trout willing to crush streamers. I had …

winonaflyfactory June 20, 2018 June 20, 2018 Carp on the Fly / Fishing The Streams

The Second Half: June 14th, 2018

If you haven’t read the First Half I suggest you do so as it will give this post better context. Sitting on the bank of the creek with a beer in one hand and watching Carl strip his crane fly across the surface I took note of the time, 3pm. …

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 …

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 …

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 …

5/25/18: Summer is Here

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 …

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. …

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. …
