    Thanks for the feedback Musky!

    I have fished the Rush a number of times and have only had luck there. It is truly a gem.

    Just looking for new water and adventures…

    I’ll report back on how the Eau Galle is as well, when I know more. I am only barbless and catch and release, of course.

    Thanks for the tips DA. I’ve been missing the weight to get em down… I’ll give it a go the next time I’m tying.

    Waiting for the snow to stop and the spring to start….

    I was planning on the Rush on Sunday early morning… but sometimes, plans can change…. I’m guessing the 8″ of snow might melt rather muddily…

    Any alternates up by the Twin Cities Metro come to mind for smaller streams in the area?

    Thanks for the warm welcome, Jake. It is much appreciated.

    I have had similar experience with Scuds. I have had many, many takes on them and very few nettings. Seems tricky to set, maybe just my trigger finger though. I veer towards the dry fly and BH dropper though… Maybe Scuds all the way down is the key, different take or some such…

    Anyone have plans for wisc opener this weekend?

    Anyone have favorites beyond the Rush and Kinni? I personally had an awesome day on the Willow last spring. Landed Brownies,Brookies(many of em), a couple of bows, smallmouth, crappie, bluegill, and a chubb. all in like .5 mile run of the willow. Was a trippy outing indeed. Seven species was a bit odd. A buddy of mine hit it later that spring and got bupkiss. How it goes….

    Sleep, she calls…

    Tight lines all!

    Bead head Pheasant Tails dropped 18″ off of a big puffy dry.
    Upstream casts, slow retrieve slightly faster than the flow… Rinse and repeat.

    Get the net…

    Friday Afternoon – Hay creek. Beautiful afternoon, exciting strikes, no nets.

    Saturday 7a-5p WhiteWater in the Park. 15 or so for the day…

    Sunday 7a-3p East Beaver in the Park. Upstream to the spring. 25+ brownies and 4+ brookies… Best day todate for me! The warm weather washed away the afternoon though… snow will be gone soon enough…

    This coming Sunday – The Rush. I can hardly wait!
