Driftless Love

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 …

Jan. 28th: If It Feels Like March

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 …

Jan. 16th: Winter Caddis

Jan. 16th: Winter Caddis

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 …

January 1st-11th: Still Fishing

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 …

June 12th, 2014: Fish Hard

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 …

June 6th, 2014: Life On the Creek

Fished the mid-morning to afternoon spot 9am-12:30pm roughly. Got to the creek, figured I’d stick with what was working…nymphs. Spent sometime scanning for mayflies, saw a couple and along with them a few caddis. Watched a few random rises occur as I hiked downstream. I chose the same section of …

May 30th, 2014: Consolation Prize

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 …

May 29th, 2014: Contemplating Size

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 …

May 28th, 2014: Skating

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 …
