Intruder Alert

This is a flexible pattern that’s intended for Steelhead but it works for all of our lake run fish.  Intruder style flies are designed to create a large profile with minimum materials.  The takes on this style of fly can be electrifying and it swims like a champ.  They don’t look like food but their … Continue reading »

Milwaukee River Report

2 Books: Improved Trout Waters of Wisconsin & Improved Trout Waters of Minnesota and Iowa

These are two books I would recommend to any Driftless Angler, especially if the Driftless is uncharted territory for you.  These books outline where your trout stamp dollars have gone.  More importantly, they tell you where stream improvements have been done, what improvements were done, and when the improvements happened.  These improvements can allow a stream to hold … Continue reading »
