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 …
I went back to some dirty streamer water yesterday. Dirty as in nasty, as in nasty big fish live here not dirty as in stained or nasty as in unclean. This kind of water holds much fewer trout and it’s big, wide water, mostly sand and muck bottom with the …
I should start by prefacing this with a disclaimer, I am not an expert and I’m not claiming to know it all. I taught myself then compared notes and information with other like-minded anglers who fish similar water in this area. I tend to fish streamers more often than not, …
I write these posts as a way to log my time on the water, I do this mainly so that I have a way of going back and remembering what conditions were like or what trout were doing on a certain day under specific conditions. This site is not about …
Weeks ago I made a few phone calls and secured a one time access on a creek I’ve never fished but stared at on the map wondering and day dreaming of what it might hold. I knew it had the potential to hold large numbers of brook trout and because …
I fished from 1-3:30pm under cloudy skies and just a bit of wind. 41°F for the air temp and it felt a little colder. Low and gin clear water with active trout. I parked my car to find “Garfield” here staring back at me from the roof of my car. …
Fished with Ryan today from 10am-3pm under sunny skies with little to no wind. Air temp as we strung up rods on the side of a totally barren gravel road was approx. 38°F. Ryan temped the water at the first riffle crossing we came to (41°F), water was clear with …
I’ll keep this one short and sweet as there wasn’t much to report other than water was stained but totally fishable. Snow is still on the ground in some areas but for the most part the spring flooding outlook from run-off looks very good in Winona Co. I fished a …
I hate daylights savings time. My alarm went off at 6:30am which the day before was 5:30am. The view from my bedroom window was black as far as I could see, the horizons edge hadn’t even begun to show a hint of sunlight. My usual routine proceeded first with coffee, …
Quick update regarding the past two days. Trout streams are in good shape and the good conditions will continue into next week when the weather warms up more. Got out for a couple hours on both the 9th and the 10th. Friday was a quick in and out 12-2pm. Streamers …
