Forge New Flies: MiniStreamers

Looking forward to the next couple days, maybe even weeks I see several opportunities for excellent trout fishing. Several days with relatively low wind and air temps climbing up into the low 30’s and possibly the low 40’s. I’ll be getting to the creek around 10am and checking the water …

Feb. 16th, 2014 Winter Brookies

What could make trout fishing in SE Minnesota on a beautiful sunny day in the middle of February in low wind better? Catching nothing but brookies and enjoying every minute, that’s what. On the nicest day of the winter season Carl and I decided that the typical locations would likely …

June 6th, 2013: Unexpected

When I walked to the creeks edge at ~12pm on the 6th I wasn’t expecting to see aggressively rising trout but I did. I thought at first random Caddis so I tied on a #18 Grey Caddis imitation and took a couple with long slow drifts but I could tell …

Where Does Your Creek Come From?

The beauty and awe of the Driftless area is in part due to the numerous springs that are the primary source of our coldwater, without it we would not have the wonderful place I call home and my back yard. I am possibly one of the most fortunate people on …
