A few weeks ago, I headed down to the Viroqua, Wisconsin area to hang out and fish with the O’Pros crew. O’Pros is a company started by 3 brothers from Wisconsin whose goal it is to make anglers’ time on the water more efficient, and their best-known product is their rod holder. Here is a...

It’s been awhile since our last blog, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t had any good stories since we last wrote. In fact, the highlight of the year came back in October, when an ordinary musky float turned into one of the most memorable days I’ve ever had on the water. For those of you... Continue Reading →
The Upper Midwest offers some of the best fly fishing you can find. One thing I love most about my region is the ability to chase numerous species of fish throughout the course of the year. Winter is trout season. Spring is trout, steelhead and carp. Summer is bass season, and fall is musky and... Continue Reading →
I’ve been bugging Micah for a while to take me on a trip outside of the US.

Abigail and I visited Wyoming for the first-time last year when we went to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National park.

Having friends in fishy places is a nice luxury. Last year, we visited our friend Will in Jackson, WY; my cousin Andrew in Tampa, FL; and our friend Conner in Seattle, WA. These connections give a good excuse to hop in the truck or board a plane and head somewhere different to fish new water.... Continue Reading →
I’ve always appreciated well made things with a story behind them. As I’ve gotten more connected with the local fly fishing community I have built friendships with some super creative and artistic people (see O’Pros blog, Dead Drift blog, Ted Hansen blog). A few years ago, a buddy of mine told me about a friend... Continue Reading →
A Great Lake steelhead has been a fish that I have had on my list for a while now. Several attempts to put hands on my first had all failed, including two trips already this spring. I knew at some point what seemed to be impossible would be inevitable, but when would that be? For... Continue Reading →
