Trout weekend

“The water has cleared up and receeded here in NE WI. I stopped by a bridge in Shoto today a few times to look over the edge and drool, Streams packed full of fatties, some 3 ft long. I'm thinking of some private land, a weekend with a spacious tent, some good sippin' Yukon Jack, some fishing...some more fishing, and a huge frying pan! An overnighter sounds about right. This is such a cool time of year to combine the two things, fishin' and packin'.”

“A friend owns Brule River Classics so have spent countless hours fly-fishing the Brule, the White, etc. I don't miss winter in Michigan's U.P. (L'Anse) but sure do miss chasing trout and steelhead.

Enjoy!”

“Backpacking and trout fishing go together like sterling on silver. I wish I could join you. Envy. Envy.”

“I knew I'd hear from you on this,Prosecutor. I checked my dates for your Knobstone hike, and I can't make it. I am however looking forward to another chance to hike with you again. I've got some more recipies to let you try, and our last trip was great. I thoroughly enjoyed your knowledge and company. some fine trout will be caught this weekend...I'm thinking 7 wt. flyrod since the waters still high and they can run like mad.”

“catch one of those babies for me too!”

“Towndawg and I were talking today about a Smokies Hiking/Fishing trip. Cades Cove or Little River above Elkmont sure sound good to me. Anyone interested before I put one on the Trip page?”

“Nothing quite like standing on the shore of a roaring mountain stream with rod in hand and pack on back.

I should be getting some more fishing in this weekend. Won’t be going after the big boys yet, but a few 8” native bookies would be nice to fry up in a pan.”

“Waters are still very high here, but Zac is talking aboutr fishing down in the Dacks. Can't wait to hear how his angling is going.”

“there's nothing like the fight of a native, and nothing better than a pan full of those pink fleshed little beauties. I've spend most of my life chasing those little critters with a flyrod or an ultralight and some small worms. It's all about the drift...it's just got to be right, they are way too smart.”

“Trout season start 4/16 in PA. It looks like rain today and more to come. I hope it doesn't muddy up the water too much.”
