Hey, folks …. Jeff here and once again I was out and about here in NW Wisconsin on the Upper Namekagon River in search of brookies and browns. The weather was near perfect, mid 50’s with mostly sunny skies and the tannic water was almost gin clear. Click here to read about Part 1 of this latest trout adventure.
My good friend Duane was once again along on the trip and it is always fun to have a new fly-guy along to watch them figure things out …. and sometimes be just a bit frustrated for as you know, fly fishing isn’t always easy!
We did about 3 river miles starting in Cable and working our way down towards highway 63 for our takeout. I managed to land a few nice brook trout and lost one large brown in heavy water … but as they say, better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.
Here is hoping your spring fly fishing is off to a great start; you can leave any comments below and reach me by email at flyfishingwithjeff@gmail.com and I will do my best to get back to you with the best answer possible and in a timely manner.

The Highs and Lows of Fly Fishing
If you have watched any of my videos then you probably have seen the bible verse at the end slide of each video, Gal 6:9. There are a few versions but the one I stuck on as a kid is as follows: Let us not get tired in doing what is right, for after a […]
