I've been waiting for this quarry to open up for years! The neighbor and his boys beat me to it. Nice job guys, I'm jealous! I will be checking out the Three Oaks Recreation Area a little later this summer for sure...

dane county rainbow trout
dane county rainbow trout
I drifted nymphs for a good portion of the day using a pink squirrel as an attractor and a brassie as a dropper off the back. The best fight of the day came from a stocky rainbow taken from a current seam of a large pool. Instantly after being hooked the silver rocket rose high in the water and started a series of violent headshakes just under the surface. Digging hard,...

reader submitted photos
Bryce submitted these photos over on our Facebook Fan Page. The trout was caught just a few miles from his home in western Wisconsin by his father and the big bass shot is from up in northern Wisconsin. Great fishing Bryce, thanks for sharing.

don't feel much like driving?
shawn with a lake county illinois carp
Carp are a sure fire way to beat the summer fishing blues close to home. No matter where you live in Illinois an Wisconsin, there is sure to be good carp water close by. With some fish in my area pushing close to 20 pounds, they are sure to be some of the larger fish you will find locally outside of Lake Michigan. They can be as hard or easy...

my son's first brown trout
It was an early two-thirty in the morning when my wife woke me up, thank god she was still awake from the night before because my alarms had already been going off for thirty minutes. It was an exciting day to be taking my son fishing. At the young age of five, Lucas is an accomplished angler. He has taken a fifteen pound carp on 4 pound test, a near five pound bass from a pond, and countless panfish...

round lake illinois bass fishing
This summer I have made it a goal to cover as much local tournament fishing as possible. Even though this post is a little dated its still a strong reflection of the quality of fish found in some of our nearby waterways. TriCounty Anglers is a team bass fishing club casting in Lake County, IL and Kenosha and Walworth Counties in Wisconsin. The club just recently held their first tournament of the...

Wisconsin’s Official Trout Opener
richland county trout stream
A double dose of mothers day has left me sidelined for the first time in awhile. Saturday was spent with my family and Sunday was for my wife’s side. Sure, the food and company is always great but the Wisconsin trout opener was running through the back of my mind the whole weekend. Thank God for the plethora of fishing friends I have, always willing to interrupt the...

Wilmette Theater
The Fly Fishing Film Tour made its way through the Chicago-land area for the first time ever on Tuesday night. The Wilmette Theater was at a near capacity crowd and I was fortunate enough to be part of this inaugural event. For those who are unfamiliar with the tour, it is basically a compilation of many short fishing films combined into a two full hours. This year’s tour represents...

Neal's welcome back trout
Back at it again with Neal. Its been some time since we have made it out together and I care not too look back to see just how long it has been. SCARY!!! Neal though, has been busy raising a new baby boy, Jacob Wyatt, so who can blame him for not pursuing things more trout like? Either way, I was just happy to be hitting the water again with my best bud.
