Of all days in a year I look forward to January 1st more than any other. My wife long ago let any hopes of me attending a New Year’s party with her fade. Since I started fishing for trout I’ve yet to miss a January 1st opener no matter the …
I call it “the show” and it started in earnest at 1:35pm and lasted until roughly 3pm today under sunny skies and an air temp of 61°F. I arrived at 11am and put on a very lightly weighted streamer for the hike downstream. Wet wading season is finally here and …
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, …
The plan was to meet up with Carl and cast dry flies hoping to find eager brook trout mouths. I worked the night before 5pm-5am and after getting home, getting my daughter to daycare I took a very brief nap. I woke to a text message at 9:15am instead of …

I got my full day of trout fishing in earlier this week so I could be home this weekend with the wife and kid. I never thought I’d be a dad (things change) but I’m very happy that June is in our lives. She turned 13 months yesterday and on …
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. …
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 …
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 …
