    Rainy weather has made for high water conditions, but the water color is perfect and trout action is fantastic!
    If you’re not taking advantage of the Root’s high golden water, than you’re missing a golden opportunity.

    We spent several hours in the evening fishing the Root above Preston.

    The big spinners yielded big results! I almost had a grand slam, but I couldn’t find a Rainbow.

    I was in a rush when I threw this report together, so I messed up by not putting down that it was in SE Minnesota in the Forestville area upstream from Preston.

    For many years I was just grilling my trout, but last year I learned how to fillet them. WOW what a difference that makes when eating them! Trout fillets realy fry up great!

    It realy makes decisions hard for us catch and releasers.
