January 13th, 2018

Notes of Interest: Cold start to the day -4°F. Observed a few fully frozen over creeks. Fished from 11:15am-2:15pm. Nymphs were the main fare for the day. #12 Hairball did the trick. Sunny skies, minimal wind. High was 2°F. My life is now about my daughter. I used to do …

Nov. 27th, 2011: Thank You Karst

[singlepic id=3089 w=380 h=300 float=right] Notes: Source water temp: 48 Degrees Only specific rocks contained large numbers of snails. Sow Bugs, Snails, and Cased Caddis were the macro’s of quantity. Easily the largest cave emitting source of coldwater I’ve seen to date. Brown trout present in large numbers. Awe struck …

Sept. 3rd, Too Damn Long…

It’s been way too long since I had myself a day with the cold water. Conditions: 55-60 Degree Air Temp, Overcast, WNW Wind at ~20mph after 8am. The S.E. MN region has had it’s share of rain this summer season this last week was no different. Three out of five days saw …

September 27th, The End Is Near

[singlepic id=523 w=400 h=320 float=right] Under cloudy skies with the occasional bout of rain and sunshine I fished Sunday. My plan was to return to a stream that I have fished several times before to see how it looked this late in the season. With little to no rain except only …

June 17th, My Driftless Revolution

Started my day on the water at 9am under cloudy skies. Air temp was comfortable but hiking through thicker foliage after last nights rain made for a soggy morning but that wasn’t going to prevent me from swinging a few flies. I took a water temp and watched for any …

June 11th, Private Rewards

As stated yesterday I saw the plan to fish some private trout water near home through today. Called Sershen, asked if he wanted to come scout the stream with me and sure enough he did. We got on site at 12noon and fished until about 2:30pm. We parked upstream from …

Friday, April 10th: Short but Sweet

Hit the water for two short but sweet hours this morning after I dropped Liz off from work. This stream has a very different personality than the previous stream I hit the last two times I went out. I love meeting water and figuring out all the angles. What am …

March 14th: Day 2 Car Door Alley

Sershen and I hooked up for a trip to a stream I visited only once this summer. We set out down this stream and it was as if I had just hiked it. This stream is similar to Possum in that it stays gin clear almost all the time. I …

Trout Hunting

Thoughts: Fly fishing for trout in Southeast, MN can be hunting, if you want it to be. I think about how one must be conscious of movement, location, relation to the prey. The fact that the nature of the skeptical trout constantly feeding makes the job of the fly fisherman …
