So early season opener is creeping up on us. I've been doing some research and thought I would take the opportunity to start my exploits close to home. I've located a map that details improvements made to the Black Earth river (as well as other Wisconsin rivers) and hope it will point me in the right direction. I plan on exploring the sections of the Black Earth between Cross Plains and Black Earth Wisconsin. I'm hoping to find success and scout some holes for later when the season warms up. From what I've read the Black Earth is fed by two smaller cold water creek's the Garfoot Creek and Vermont Creek. Both creeks are supposed to contain some Brookies. I won't be able to make it out on the early season opener this Saturday the 5th, but I plan on going out Saturday the 12th.
until next time

Welcome to Trout Fever
Ok, like many fly fisherman I've been plagued by trout fever from the very first time I set a hook with a fly rod. It has been nearly 18 years since I fought and lost what I believe to have been a 20+ inch rainbow trout on the Bighorn River in Montana. My father took me on a fishing trip that spring right before my 13th birthday. That trip sparked a love for trout and fly fishing. This trip also resulted in a family passion I share with my father, uncles and cousins. In the time since then I've been lucky enough to fish big western rivers in Montana, Utah, Wyoming, and New Mexico, saltwater flats in Mexico and Belize and made a trip to New Zealand to go after some monster steelhead.
I decided to create this blog to chronicle my fly fishing exploits both grand and small. Recently I have moved to the small town of New Glarus, Wisconsin. I knew there was supposed to be some excellent fishing in the area, it is my hope to explore what is known as the "driftless" area of Wisconsin. I will document my outings and provide valuable information about which rivers and sections I fish, what the river conditions are and insect life observations.
If you are like me you probably feel overwhelmed when looking for new areas to fish, and have a hard time finding local advice on fishing hotspot's. Please check back from time to time, and I hope you can use my experiences to enhance your fly fishing.
Thank you
