Wi RIver smallies.

The water levels on the Lower WI River finally cooperated enough to get out and do a guide trip. The Praire du Sac dam read 7,000cfs but the river seemed lower than that. The smallies hit everything as long as it was white! Small pods of fish were crushing shad but the takes with the flies were subtle.

Bryan's suprise Bowfin!

 We even landed a suprise bowfin!

Mousing King!

Mr. Brown

Nice mousing fish!

The catch of the night for the chub king!

Kurt sent me some photos of a recent mousing trip to southwestern WI. The fish were responsive to the mouse and he even landed a suprise fish! I think we might call him the chub king now!!

Todd with a nice smallie

Todd and myself had the opportunity to go to the Black River on Monday and Tuesday. A friend of the shop Dan has a cabin right on the river so we could get to fishing right away. It turned out to be a great float on Monday, we landed lots of fish, nothing huge Todd even got a small muskie. Tuesday was a little bit of a circus dragging a driftboat thru some very shallow rapids. But the fish we bigger. Thanks Dan for the cabin and I would love to fish it again......for MUSKIE!!

Fishing 8/19

Nice healthy fish.

Best fish of the day on a Bamboo Rod

Fishing was good today. Mostly got fish nymphing. The water was off color so you could stand right on top of the fish.
 I fished a PJ Julius bamboo rod today. Paul makes his Bamboo Rods locally here in Cross Plains. Check out his website at www.pjjuliusrods.com

Saturday Guide trip

Great fish!

Close up of the biggest landed for the day.

Meet up with Joe at 7am Saturday morning. Joe flew into Milwaukee from Texas and then drove all the way to Fennimore,WI. Arriving at his hotel at about 3:30am and a few hours of sleep we were fishing. The day was hot and the bugs were thick. But we managed to get some great fish and the beer s at the end of the day were quite tasty!!
