So, I live in the cities, and want to go trout streamin', but I'm sick of fishing Hay creek... any cool rivers, or streams that I could wade in, and have a hope of catching a trophy, or that there of? I don't mind driving a little more, but the book from the DNR is good help to show where trout streams, but i tried once to check out some of the other streams listed in the book, but they are all so small, and shallow, and... well, is there anywhere around that I could feel a little more confidence in a chance of getting some bigger trout?

Whitewater River, Beaver Creek, Root River, 3 larger bodies of water that come to mind. One thing to do is check out the stream on google earth with the trout guide as a reference. That'll give you a better handle on what you can expect

The little cannon river is a decent one to fish pretty much all over. One day i went fishing on a section that does not get fished heavily at all an caught 7 browns smallest one was 17 inches and the biggest was 24 inches awesome day of fishing. I also got a bunch of chubs.

Ever considered western Wisconsin? Shell out an out of state license but I think it is worth it. Pretty hard to beat the Kinni and Rush. Both have high numbers of trout and are more substantial rivers in comparison to Hay. You can get to Glen Park and fish lower Kinni in 30 minutes from the TCs.

I have fished Little Cannon. Ended up catching more chubs than trout. Plus it is incredibly silty, like quick sand in places. Not as pristine of a stream in comparison and imagine it dirties up easily after rain.

BTW, what kind of fish are you holding?

best thing you can do is get trout map book from DNR or use their HSOforum. Not as easy as on paper but definetly will help you explore and get some great ideas.

DNR trout maps + google earth.. it'll help you out a lot!

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.

      I went ahead and watched some of the MLF coverage.  Wheeler didn’t make the cut but the bigger story was the Poche/Avera fallout.   Kinda funny listening to both sides of the story and putting together the scenario, reading between the lines.
