May 21st & 22nd, 2014: Driftless Spring

May 21st & 22nd, 2014: Driftless Spring

May 21st Hit a short section of creek that I haven’t seen in over a year and in fact I think it might have been almost two  since I had walked these banks. This section of creek offers brown trout and they are typically difficult to catch, minimal nymphing opportunities and …

Foraging for Fungus

Life in the Driftless Area is good. The caddis are out, the creeks are in great shape and the Morel mushrooms are starting to come up. More moisture and warmer weather will help things along but for now if you look you’ll start to see these popping up around the …

May 11th, 2014: Evening Brookies

Fished just a couple hours in the later evening with a friend of mine after an excellent bike ride through bluff country. I typically don’t get many opportunities to fish the evening hours and as such I was pretty stoked to get to the creek. We washed the sand from …

May, 3rd 2014: Wildflowers & The Heron

I managed to get out for a few hours this afternoon and so did everyone else… I fished up slop from a couple guys travelling quite a bit a ways from home. No big deal. I was more out just to be outside in the woods enjoying a bit of …

Introducing: The Driftless Exposure

I’ve been approached a handful of time recently for images and it has spurred a push to increase my photographic skills. I’ve spent some time and money investing in a bit more advanced photography equipment and in what little free time I have available put together a second site dedicated …

4/5 & 4/9/14 Carnivores & Elk Antlers?!?
winonaflyfactory April 10, 2014 April 10, 2014 Fishing The Streams

4/5 & 4/9/14 Carnivores & Elk Antlers?!?

Trout are carnivores and this time of year they demonstrate that fact by chasing fat streamers to your feet despite the clear low water. These fish are hungry, period. Note the below image for this post, look closely and you’ll see a brown trout holding a sucker in it’s jaws. I peered …

Chironomidae & S.E. Minnesota

Chironomidae (Diptera): The Non-Biting Midge. They have been everywhere as of late it seems. I was hoping to see more of them this winter season as the last few years hadn’t given up many large emergences that I was able to take advantage of. That’s not to say Midge didn’t …

Video: Find the Midge

Beautiful weather, hatching midge, and cooperating trout made this day spectacular. I should note that I’m about to make big investments in new and updated photography and video equipment as I am feeling rather limited with what I can do given my current equipment. It’s likely going to take a …

Find the Midge

That’s the goal for today. I’ll be heading out the door in an hour, down into a valley to drop these bombs on a few unsuspecting hungry brown trout. Lets hope they are up for it, I know I am. Next few days should make for some excellent trout fishing …
