Seasons end pt. 4

Surrounded in a cocoon of down I roll over to look at my watch, it’s 8:30 am. 12hrs? How did I sleep for 12 hours? I needed to pack camp and get to higher ground to confirm plans with Carl. I boiled water for oatmeal as I packed my hammock …

A Busy Weekend: 4/21 & 4/22/2018

I fished both Saturday and Sunday this past weekend. Going into the weekend I had tempered my expectations for a couple of reasons. 1st, the weekend had the best weather we’ve had since last fall and because the opening weekend was a bust for many I knew anglers would be …

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 …

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 …

April 27th, 2013: Family and Fishing

I don’t see my family all that often and truth be told (oh man am I gonna get it for this) I live in the boonies for a reason, I like solitude and doing my own thing. Maybe I’m selfish…maybe I’m smart, all depends on how you look at it …

March 28th, 2013: S.E. MN Update

The fishing was damn good today, I opted to get out today knowing that snow melt would be causing problems soon and right I was. With air temps climbing and the overnight lows staying in the upper 20’s/low 30’s the spring run off has begun. The creek I fished today …

Nov. 5th, 2011: November BWO’s

Liz and I hit Iowa on Saturday and came across a spectacular emergence of fall Baetis. We parked the car at ~12noon and observed consistent rising almost immediately. The creek was running clear and maybe just a hair low, the air temp was in the low 50’s but a strong …
