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 …

Seasons end pt. 5

Seasons end pt. 5

It’s the second to last day of the season and I’m home not feeling any sort of urgency to get out and fish. I have to work overnight starting at 7 pm meaning I have to leave the house by six. I’ve got the afternoon to fish but its a …

Seasons end pt. 1

Rather than concentrate on generating blog posts, I focused on what really mattered over the past two weeks. Catching trout and enjoying the last weeks, days and hours of my 2018 Minnesota trout season. It’s been a bit of a battle between the rain that seemed like it might never …

October 4th, 2018

My fall goals are changing due to conditions and timing. I have to be water and go with the flow as it were. Last Thursday Carl and I checked off one of my fall goals. Chase after the brookies before the fall season ends. I’ll be brief and let the …

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 …

July 12th 2018: The Untouched

A chance encounter with a three individuals from Lanesboro spurred a conversation about southeast Minnesota, the driftless area and a love of trout and trout streams. This brief conversation resulted in a question in which I was expecting little if anything to come from it. “Do any of you guys …

Week Off pt.1: 7/2-7/4
winonaflyfactory July 9, 2018 July 10, 2018 Carp on the Fly / Fishing The Streams

Week Off pt.1: 7/2-7/4

Started my week off with a bit of carping with almost nothing to show for my effort save a few tears. The spots I’ve come to enjoy have filled in with thick weeds. The carp are present but this change is striking and my lack of experience made me go …

Short Film: Goldilocks

Short Film: Goldilocks

When you managed to find fishable water amidst a swath of blown streams you should be pretty pleased but to be able to find a stream that’s not a little stained and not a river of mud but instead is just right with the perfect amount of moderate stain you’ve …

Goldilocks: 6/21/17
winonaflyfactory June 25, 2018 June 25, 2018 Fishing The Streams

Goldilocks: 6/21/17

By Wednesday June 20th southeast Minnesota had received a significant amount of rain and going into Thursday it was predicted to continue raining on and off overnight. I figured if I could find cleaner water in the rain then I would find eager trout willing to crush streamers. I had …

The Second Half: June 14th, 2018

If you haven’t read the First Half I suggest you do so as it will give this post better context. Sitting on the bank of the creek with a beer in one hand and watching Carl strip his crane fly across the surface I took note of the time, 3pm. …
