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 …
Bugs…Beer…Browns…. My yearly excuse (birthday) to take some vacation time occurs during one of the best times to be a trout angler in S.E. Minnesota.
