Coach Bobby Knight fishing with me the last time. Went out with him 8 times.

Lower Plum Creek in Crawford County.

7 trout caught from under that stump.

Read's Creek upstream of Jj

Great access as the road follows entire way. Loads of easy to catch browns with a healthy mix of Brookies too.

You are a lucky guy indeed to have found such lovely little creeks to fish.I hope they will always look so natural and serene. But if nature runs amok, like it sometimes does, and pours a few billion gallons of high dirty water through them, are you going to resist trying to rebuild, restabiliaze and repair them?

I doubt it-not if you really CARE about those pretty little places. That's why many of the waters I listed earlier have had the pick and shovel and dozer work on them at one time or the other-because anglers cared about them and wanted them to remain productive waters.

Remember the tragic scenes of a couple years back when so many of the delightful little streams and rivers of SE MN were devastated? Aren't you happy to see that work has been done to repair them? Of course you are.

Even if those snooty guys from Tenn and Ohio wouldn't dream of wetting a line on them.

Enjoy those small waters-they are jewels.

Bobby Knight is a real legend. You're one lucky many to have shared a stream with him!

The lower part of Tainter Creek in Crawford County. Just upstream

of the public land. Brown/brookies

[Nate McVey]

What a pretty stream! Sure would be terrible if those banks were to erode and dump a bunch of sediment into the water......someone might have to fix it then and ruin it. Then where would all the southern folks go to snag trout?

[Driftless]

Otter Creek Crawford County

Beautifully banked and sweet "habitat" made my mother nature.

Caught 5 brown in the over hang on the left.

Lost a sweet brown at shore that went 18-20 inches. No homogenizing required.

[Driftless]

Upper Middle Mill Creek

Richland County

Brown

Not public...not cement pond..

Not c/r only.

[Driftless]

Coach Bobby Knight fishing upper Camp Creek just upstream of the restored area.

I asked him if he wanted to hit that area first.

His response:

"I took the training wheels off over 50 years ago. No thanks."

[Driftless]

any of you look at these photos and see the beauty of the area...

go ahead and contact me and I will point you to solid water where

you will catch lots of trout and maybe a couple big ones. I am not

a guide. I have not guided in almost 4 years. I believe guides are

not really needed in this area with the abundance of trout in the streams.

[Driftless]

Love this area. Trout a plenty and lots of room for everyone. Lots of parks and campgrounds.

The most friendly folks you are going to find.

[hookncook]

hey Len, what is the GPS Coordinates for the hole you claim a 30 inch trout lays.... you seem to have an open book policy on streams.....

[Driftless]

Crow Creek Crawford County.

This stream you must wade.

Browns/brookies...

AND

Tigers.

[Scudly]

Every time we go fishing I am astounded by the beautiful streams and what Mother Nature is capable of.

LHArris, have you ever fished The Nimakogan? My grandpa used to go there a lot as my uncle had a place up on White Fish by Heyward/spooner. I am going to try that sometime soon. Just wondering if that is still a descent river for fishing.

No I have not but I have a friend that recently moved to Wyoming that fished that area for years and has GREAT things to says about that stream.

Another outstanding Wisconsin Stream.

The Pine River.

It is included in my presentation tomorrow and Sunday.

I also picked up my 6 page maps packet I had copied that I am going to hand out to the masses.
