May 10th, 2018

I was out in the later afternoon from 3-5pm enjoying the sun and beautiful weather yesterday. I arrived and noticed a couple random caddis skittering around, saw a rising trout or two but opted to fish some deeper holes so I put on my sinking leader and a heavier streamer. …

A Sunday with June: 3/25/18

I got my full day of trout fishing in earlier this week so I could be home this weekend with the wife and kid. I never thought I’d be a dad (things change) but I’m very happy that June is in our lives. She turned 13 months yesterday and on …

March 16th, 2018

I’ll keep this one short and sweet as there wasn’t much to report other than water was stained but totally fishable. Snow is still on the ground in some areas but for the most part the spring flooding outlook from run-off looks very good in Winona Co. I fished a …

Video: The 249 South

I’ve been busy these past two weeks. Turns out learning an entirely different video editing program is daunting and frustrating at times but in the end will likely be a major upgrade resulting in faster smoother post production work. I carried with me multiple cameras and fly rod in an …

Jan. 31st, 2015

Get it while you can. That’s what I have to live by these days. Woke up, pounded out the bike routine, started reading for class then got the urge to touch a trout. Wife was out the door for a girls thing, left me with the afternoon free. I gambled …

June 12th, 2014: Fish Hard

The plan: Hit some dirty streamer water and cover some serious ground before hitting the bike for the Thursday Night Group ride at Brone’s Bike shop. What better way to spend an afternoon and evening. The only thing that needed to be considered for both the fishing and cycling plan …

June 6th, 2014: Life On the Creek

Fished the mid-morning to afternoon spot 9am-12:30pm roughly. Got to the creek, figured I’d stick with what was working…nymphs. Spent sometime scanning for mayflies, saw a couple and along with them a few caddis. Watched a few random rises occur as I hiked downstream. I chose the same section of …

May 30th, 2014: Consolation Prize

Fished big water for the second day in a row searching for nasty big brown trout willing to nail a streamer. Not much to report, a lot of casting and very little catching. In the few hours I spent hiking the banks slowly fishing each boulder, each pocket and every …

May 29th, 2014: Contemplating Size

Just another day in S.E. Minnesota. Stream conditions are the same as they were the day prior, getting up to the low 80’s again and sun, oh the glorious sun. We have only had alittle under half an inch of precipitation at my house in the last week or two and the streams …
