BWCA 2018 Episode 2

It’s 2:30 pm on day two. Ryan and I have been hiking through the Northwoods for a mile and a half and it’s taken over four and a half hours. This is slow slogging. Sore and likely dehydrated despite our efforts to continually drink fluids, we are sitting on the …

BWCA 2018 Episode 1

A quick recap of the initial plan. Drive 7hrs to the Northwoods, get the proper permits needed and stay at a campsite outside of the BWCA to wake early the next morning. At 5 am paddle 8miles to a remote lake, paddle across that lake and ditch the boat. Hike …

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 …

BWCA 2017 Day 3-4

We spent days three and four exploring the lake we were on by both canoe and foot. We hiked the portages we hadn’t used, hiked the woods and the stream that flowed out of our lake down to the small river it formed. I also learned a lot about fly …

BWCA 2017 Day 0-1

So I’ve been fishing, been tying and figuring out how to balance two jobs and a new baby. So far so good. Haven’t posted much this year, would like to change that in the future. Here is the first 48hrs of my BWCA trip this year that I planned my …

March 2nd, 2015: Cold Hands

We are imperfect creatures. I am imperfect. I am stubborn. I am also determined. I approached a slow shallow section of creek laden with what could have been hundreds, literally hundreds of brook trout, from upstream as I hiked my foot prints back downstream from where I’d came. I passed this …

Jan. 31st, 2015

Get it while you can. That’s what I have to live by these days. Woke up, pounded out the bike routine, started reading for class then got the urge to touch a trout. Wife was out the door for a girls thing, left me with the afternoon free. I gambled …

June 12th, 2014: Fish Hard

The plan: Hit some dirty streamer water and cover some serious ground before hitting the bike for the Thursday Night Group ride at Brone’s Bike shop. What better way to spend an afternoon and evening. The only thing that needed to be considered for both the fishing and cycling plan …

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 …

Foraging for Fungus

Life in the Driftless Area is good. The caddis are out, the creeks are in great shape and the Morel mushrooms are starting to come up. More moisture and warmer weather will help things along but for now if you look you’ll start to see these popping up around the …
