Milwaukee river
Spring Swinging
Hit the Milwaukee with Adam a few weeks back and we experienced something out of the ordinary…great fishing. Even though the water was high, cold, and slowly rising all day from snow melt, the Steelhead were in and on the grab…bigly.

I was worried about the water … Continue reading
