1/11/19: Solitude

It just so happened that some good news came my way a while back and then a few days later the bad followed. I won’t get into it but just know that for those of us who fish because we love it and not because we are constantly hunting for …

Sept. 25th, 2018: Fall is Here

Fall is here and with it the colors, cool temperatures and trout rising to BWO’s. It has been a while since I had a couple hours to find trout and with the catch and release season almost half over I made a few moves to spend more time near the …

winonaflyfactory June 18, 2018 June 18, 2018 Carp on the Fly / Fishing The Streams

The First Half: June 14th, 2018

I fished with Carl from ~10:30am-11pm on the 14th. The initial plan was to hit a series of beaver ponds for larger browns then during the hottest part of the day find brookies hopefully hitting dry flies. The last time we fished this water it became apparent that it would …

Interview: Dr. Biederman

Interview: Dr. Biederman

A couple months back I sat down with Assistant Professor of Biology at Winona State University Dr. Jennifer Biederman to discuss trout, trout streams, invertebrates and the research going on in the driftless area. Dr. Biederman lives near Winona on a local trout stream I am quite fond of. She …

5/31/18: Nymphing

I took the afternoon to visit a spot that I hold in high regard. It’s on private property and I’ve built a rapport with the owners over the past eight or so years simply by taking the time to get to know them and respect their property. These folks are …

winonaflyfactory May 2, 2018 May 2, 2018 Fishing The Streams

4/30 & 5/1/18: Two Hearted

I spent the majority of the past two days fishing larger water with two guys who both love fishing for trout almost as much as me and enjoying a handful of one of my favorites, bell’s two hearted ale. Thursday I met up with Ryan and fished late into the …

Responsible Harvest in the Driftless

Responsible Harvest in the Driftless

After the opening weekend and recent discussions with other anglers I wanted to post what I use as “guidelines” to practice the responsible harvest of trout on our southeast Minnesota trout streams. Some anglers are turned off by the idea of harvesting trout but I believe that some of our …

winonaflyfactory April 14, 2018 April 14, 2018 Fishing The Streams

4/12/18: Expectations

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 …

4/10 & 4/11/2018

I’ll be brief, conditions the past two days have been excellent. Tomorrow will be the same or better for dry fly fishing and being outside in general, I plan to take advantage of it while I can. I spent a few hours under cloudy skies on the 10th tossing a …

FlyFactory Films: Driftless Winter

Driftless Winter: This footage was shot during a day I spent with a good friend of mine on March 11th, 2018. Despite the cloudy skies it was an excellent day and the initial hike downstream saw me stripping down to a t-shirt to avoid wearing a sweat soaked cotton rag …
