  • In this video, I'm truck camping and fly fishing for wild brown trout in the Wisconsin driftless region and the dry fly bite goes off! I'll show you the patterns that I've had the most success with during the spring caddis season! I'll spend the week exploring a dozen or more of the areas famous spring creeks searching for some of the prettiest wild browns you've ever seen! This is part 3 of a 3 part series.

    You are definitely the best TH-camr out there! Love hearing all the orioles and warblers singing in the background. Most TH-camrs ruin there videos with background music. Just hearing the water and natural sounds is music to my ears. Please don’t change a thing.

    You got to love those days on the Driftless when the Black Caddis hatch is on. You're so right about keeping your shadow off the water on these clear water spring creeks. Trout can sense large black moving objects very well and one shadow can spook an entire run. So glad you found that first stream on the second day - it's one of my favorites. My PB Brown Trout was caught there, along with several Tigers. I've scored a Brown/Brookie/Rainbow trifecta there on multiple occasions. Further up on that stream there are some big Brookies hiding out under the banks. Another great video Drew!

    Those were some nice trout. Fryin' pan size, as they say. The stream looks like modest trout water with modest cover but some nice runs and channels. Best of all? No trees to impede the backcast! Thanks Drew. From Michigan, 4/12/24. Sixteen days until the Michigan trout opener. Headed to camp with the same 6 guys for 25 years. Is it time to go yet???

    Drew i know where you are. They changed the regs, and yes it used to be catch and release. The DNR rebuilt the stream across the road and its very nice, all public. Next time you come this way, let me know Ill give you some tips on more places to go.

  • @keithb2461

    the stream at 7:40 is great water......you hike downstream about 3/4 mile and fish back to the bridge. bug bows and browns there.

    Love your videos, so peaceful the places you visit and fish. I also learn a lot watching your vids.
    I wonder how you determine if streams are on public land vs private land? I don’t want to trespass.

  • @mathewpankratz5767
    @mathewpankratz5767 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    They’ve changed a lot of these creeks that used to be CR only to five under 12” because so many have huge populations of 10” fish and they need some harvesting. I wouldn’t walk past water because I didn’t see a fish either, they’re there even if you can’t see them barring a fish kill.

    I just started fly fishing and im absolutely hooked, just so much fun and challenging! Do you have any advice on stopping smaller fish from swallowing dry flies, because I dont want to keep the small ones. Thanks for you for your inspiring videos.

    • @fjb4932
      @fjb4932 ปีที่แล้ว

      The smaller the fish / the tastier.
      Smaller than pan size.
      Sure, takes a dozen-15 for a meal, but they're non-breeders at that age.
      Release the larger breeding ones .
      "Catch and Release" is a feel good /misguided practice (ref: Rock Creek, Mt. A "Blue Ribbon" stream.)

  • @pogeegitz
    @pogeegitz ปีที่แล้ว

    The problem that some of our smallest driftless streams have is that they're subject to winter kills and farm runoff that will knock a stream down for a few years. A stream that was great last year may not have any fish the next. Some of my favorite streams aren't what they used to be. The good news is they usually rebound within a couple years or so.

    • @ericheiligenstein9897
      @ericheiligenstein9897 ปีที่แล้ว

      Agreed. Winter. Kill this year appears to have been widespread on the streams I’ve fished. Numbers way down from last year.

    When you say you didn't see any fish did you even wet a line? Not all fish are advertising their location. I fish the Iowa driftless and somedays I only catch a few after a couple hours. Somedays I catch 20.
