October 27 & 28, 2022 Granny has been heavily devoted to our new home. The 1984 fixer-upper needed a ton of work when we bought it back in May. We’ve learned a lot and nibbled away at it all summer. Since we got floors and half a kitchen early this month, lately Granny’s been decorating. … Read more
I’ve been drooling over Google Earth Maps a few evenings now that it gets dark earlier. There is so much water to fish within just ten miles of our house here in Hayward, WI its almost unbelievable. While I’m certain may of the lakes are far from epic fisheries, all are fun to explore. Late … Read more
I for sure know folks read the blog after the last couple days. I got quiet since coming home from Italy and I’ve received a few concerned emails. No need to worry – the blog will go on! While I knew I wouldn’t run out fishing for a few days after fishing the World’s, … Read more

It was hard not to hop in the rowboat this morning and fish Howie’s lake with Granny. Especially when we had the Northwoods magic sunrise going on. Sunrises don’t get much better than this. But we had a plan to chase Great Lakes steelhead on another of Howie’s favorite rivers. Today is our last … Read more
Granny and I had our usual early morning coffee outside the cabin here in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. Then we launched the rowboat and I rowed around our lake putting Granny on numerous little largemouth bass and a few saucer size bluegills. It was a really good time until the north wind kicked up and … Read more
October 13 – 14, 2018 Granny and made the spectacular drive north near Ashland, Wisconsin to visit my old Northland College roommate and his wife. Howie and Sue graduated from Northland College with me back in 1987. We stay in touch and the last time Howie and I fished was in 2017 in the … Read more
Its winter in Wisconsin. We arrived this afternoon in Minneapolis and drove 5 hours up to Boulder Junction, WI. We’re here to muskellunge fish with my friend Bill Sherer, founder of the We Tie It Fly Shop. It was a beautiful drive with the foliage in full bloom but tomorrow will be a brutally cold … Read more
