Looking forward to the next couple days, maybe even weeks I see several opportunities for excellent trout fishing. Several days with relatively low wind and air temps climbing up into the low 30’s and possibly the low 40’s. I’ll be getting to the creek around 10am and checking the water …
What could make trout fishing in SE Minnesota on a beautiful sunny day in the middle of February in low wind better? Catching nothing but brookies and enjoying every minute, that’s what. On the nicest day of the winter season Carl and I decided that the typical locations would likely …
After my skunking a few days prior I decided I needed to go back to the creek and reevaluate my approach. I arrived at noon and set to hiking. I didn’t stop, didn’t linger, didn’t spy for rising fish. I just hiked. Airtemp was predicted to hit 30° but that didn’t happen. …
Just a bit of video from the other day as I trudged through snow drifts in search of open water. I did eventually find some but fishing most of it was a challenge. The afternoon was not without its high moments though as eventually I would come across midge, …

Low wind, high of 20degrees and sun. Had a few hours, got out later than I normally would. In a hurry I put my mind to the spot and didn’t think much about it. Everything was set to be spectacular until I drove across the bridge and got out to …

11:00am, Arrival Air Temp: 3°F. Minimal to no wind, the saving grace for a 3°F start. High topped out at 7°F but began to fall quickly. Overcast the entire time. All in all it was a good start to the year. Pulling up we found a ton of trout just waiting to …
So it has been a while. I’ve been busy, trust me. I haven’t forgotten this place and I won’t forsake it. Tomorrow is the 1st, the beginning of every year and with it the usual ritual will be carried out in standard fashion. I’m truly looking forward to it. With …
When I walked to the creeks edge at ~12pm on the 6th I wasn’t expecting to see aggressively rising trout but I did. I thought at first random Caddis so I tied on a #18 Grey Caddis imitation and took a couple with long slow drifts but I could tell …
