[singlepic id=2724 w=280 h=200 float=right] Stopped just for twenty or so minutes to fish a spot I’ve spied a George hanging out in. George is code for freakin’ big brown trout, the kind that break tippet and leave you speechless standing on the bank holding a limp line. The first cast hooked this guy. …
[singlepic id=2685 w=280 h=200 float=right] Damn, what an afternoon. Got onstream later than I wanted but found myself pulling up to a bridge with a family of six swimming in the big hole just downstream. The adults and I discussed fishing while I got my gear togather, the kids played …
[singlepic id=2616 w=380 h=300 float=right] Just another day around here. Woke early to take advantage of a couple hours before work. I see little reason to waste the day sleeping when there are trout to be had. This is the “busy” time of the year for me and as such …

[singlepic id=2483 w=495 h=415 float=center] Then it took something a bit larger…19 1/2inches to be exact. [singlepic id=2485 w=495 h=415 float=center] [singlepic id=2486 w=495 …

[singlepic id=2459 w=300 h=220 float=left] The opening of all streams to Catch and Release angling in Southeast Minnesota arrived last Friday.
