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 …

1/1/19: Prelude

Of all days in a year I look forward to January 1st more than any other. My wife long ago let any hopes of me attending a New Year’s party with her fade. Since I started fishing for trout I’ve yet to miss a January 1st opener no matter the …

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. 3

It’s 8 am and I’m pulling into a Kwik Trip parking lot. The skies are overcast, it’s moderately windy and it feels cold, colder than I was expecting. I brought my waders but was hoping to avoid wearing them. I guess avoiding them wasn’t going to happen. Carl pulls up, …

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. 2: 7/5-7/7
winonaflyfactory July 10, 2018 July 10, 2018 Fishing The Streams

Week Off pt. 2: 7/5-7/7

The day that I fished with Carl and filmed the Goldilocks video I watched him confidently fish a cranefly pattern in the pouring rain and bring multiple trout to the surface when none were rising. He didn’t fish that pattern the entire day and it wasn’t completely effective the entire …

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 …
