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 …

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 …

winonaflyfactory June 20, 2018 June 20, 2018 Carp on the Fly / Fishing The Streams

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. …

My Leaky Waders: Father & Son

My Leaky Waders: Father & Son

I met David Nash a few years back when him and his father got out with me on an excellent late April day. I’ll never forget the fish his dad landed on his tenkara rod while we were out, a beautiful full bodied brown trout that made the day. If …

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. …

May 9th, 2018: A Brief Reprieve

May 9th, 2018: A Brief Reprieve

After many laborious hours staring at a glowing screen to put the finish on a new fly factory film I decided a lack of screens and the sound of the stream was much needed. I fished from 11-2pm and managed to touch close to twenty or more browns all smaller …

4/26/18: Spring Streamers
winonaflyfactory April 27, 2018 April 27, 2018 Fishing The Streams

4/26/18: Spring Streamers

I went back to some dirty streamer water yesterday. Dirty as in nasty, as in nasty big fish live here not dirty as in stained or nasty as in unclean. This kind of water holds much fewer trout and it’s big, wide water, mostly sand and muck bottom with the …

Responsible Harvest in the Driftless

Responsible Harvest in the Driftless

After the opening weekend and recent discussions with other anglers I wanted to post what I use as “guidelines” to practice the responsible harvest of trout on our southeast Minnesota trout streams. Some anglers are turned off by the idea of harvesting trout but I believe that some of our …

A Busy Weekend: 4/21 & 4/22/2018
winonaflyfactory April 23, 2018 April 23, 2018 Fishing The Streams

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 …

4/7 & 4/8/18: Winter In April

Those of you who read this are well aware that we’ve been experiencing colder than normal days this April. It’s easy to get discouraged when the sky is grey, the ground is a combination of muddy brown and patchy white, the bluffs are now totally snow covered and the creeks …
