Tricos are here!!! BMFS guide Aaron was out this morning and ran into a good Trico hatch. (pronounced try-co not tree-co, they are called tricos because they have three (tri) tails.) The hatch was from 7-10am or so. Streams are in great shape out there right now. Check your spider webs and they tell all

Hot and humid!!   Watch your stream temps out there folks, anything above 68 degrees and the trout are looking for air conditioning and want to chill out. Bring a thermometer with you and don’t harass them too much or at all if the temps are above 69 degrees.  Next weeks forecast is looking better!! It’s

A stream report from a good customer of ours. “Rush River below Martell: I was lucky enough to fish three of the past 6 days on the Rush in the afternoon. If things seem to be slow, hang in there as activity can change quickly. I fished with a friend who caught nothing for 2

A report from a good customer of ours from last night on the Kinni. “The sulfurs were hatching last night on the Rush and the fishing was great. From 3:30 to 7:30 trout were caught nymphing the riffles with a small pheasant tail or caddis larva. But once, 7:30 hit, trout lost all interest in nymphs and were focused

BWO’s were hatching all over on the Rush, though I didn’t see any Caddis. Plenty of fish were rising. However, nymphing with a Caddis larva was the most effective. I

Holy smokes!!! Spring is here!! Finally!!!  Well, we are almost all the way through the snow melt so streams should be coming back into shape in the next few days. The Kinnickinnic River is currently fishable and is flowing at 155cfs and falling. It will be a little high and off color but definitely fishable.

Blizzard!!!  Anyone out fishing today?  Ha! Fishing should be pretty good for the next 5 days or so with cold temps settling back in to our area. This will keep the new snow from melting and the streams clear and fishable. The Kinni is coming back down nicely from last weeks warmish temps and snow

Yesterday and today’s warmer weather has gotten the snow melting and the Kinnickinnic River back on the rise.  We have yet ANOTHER cold front moving in this weekend bringing a bunch more snow. Fishing should be good early next week
