Driftless Love. This is a compilation of footage I’ve taken over the last couple years. I put this together for a Citizens Watershed Summit last fall and I’ve been holding onto it since then. Part of me is really not a fan of dialogue in my videos and until now …
Then fish like it’s March. I picked a new creek not realizing it would turn out to be the Holy Grail. You might be thinking what the… Holy Grail? Well, it hit me as I was hiking back to the car at the end of the day with a grin so …
Waders donned, this alone indicates the favorable conditions. The snow is heavy, it’s snow ball making snow. The 34degree airtemp has something to do with that and I leave my gloves in the car. Hiking downstream late in the afternoon I note the water clarity unaffected by the melting snow. Midge …
For those of you wondering if I’m still alive trust me I am. Just happen to get caught up in a backyard marriage, the start of school and continuing my day job. I also upped the number of hours I spend on my bike to prepare for cycling races and the …
The plan: Hit some dirty streamer water and cover some serious ground before hitting the bike for the Thursday Night Group ride at Brone’s Bike shop. What better way to spend an afternoon and evening. The only thing that needed to be considered for both the fishing and cycling plan …

Fished from ~1-4pm Sunny Skies and High 15+mph Winds Lots of Dandelion seeds in the air and creek surface. Airtemp 81°F on Arrival Water Temp 62°F on Arrival Rising began around 1:30pm Lt. Hendrickson Hatch During the entire time. I fished just a few hours but man was it a …
Fished big water for the second day in a row searching for nasty big brown trout willing to nail a streamer. Not much to report, a lot of casting and very little catching. In the few hours I spent hiking the banks slowly fishing each boulder, each pocket and every …
Just another day in S.E. Minnesota. Stream conditions are the same as they were the day prior, getting up to the low 80’s again and sun, oh the glorious sun. We have only had alittle under half an inch of precipitation at my house in the last week or two and the streams …
Got out yesterday for a few hours on a creek that is small and difficult to fish especially during the late spring and summer. The weeds are already knee to thigh high and crowding the banks making casting accuracy more important. It is quickly feeling more and more like summer, soon …
