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
Alex

ReplyDeleteYou forgot to add that your family fishing outings have included Wisconsin (remember the Brule!). I'm confident your explorations will result in another great spring "Frozen Fingers" family outing in future years...certainly one more successful than we had on the Brule. So, I'll be following your post regularly. Tight Lines!
