Greetings All.....
It's been a pretty slow week fishing wise for me, with all the rain we've been having the streams have been on a regular pattern of flood or near flood conditions since last week. Nothing like what SW WI has been seeing but enough to make the fishing very tough. Fortunately our waters drain pretty quickly and my favorite fishing is generally on falling water so here's to hoping next week is dry and calm...
This weekend marks the first of what should be 3 trips to Dos Rios (Two Rivers, WI) salmon fishing with my bro Ben Hayes. This is almost always the highlight of the summers fishing and over the past 4 or 5 years we have dialed in a system which always seems to put us at the top of the heap at the cleaning station. We definitely do it differently than most of the others out there, clean lines and a stealth approach are our keys. T'rivers is the shit, the last crappy fishing village in WI. There are no harbor side condo's, just the old mills and seagull marina to welcome you back in after your day. We generally target kings and steelhead, although we do get the occasional brown and coho. We'll miss the friday night sunset bite but have all day saturday and sunday to fill a box. I'll have images and the box score on monday.
Walleye fishing on the croix has slowed with the water levels going through the roof. Fish are scattered from 6 to 30' over a variety of bottom terrain. I'll be out tomorrow with a large group and hopefully we'll find enough to make it interesting. This afternoon finds me on the Kinni with 2 clients, water is high and off color so I reckon we'll bust out the streamers and try to coax some fish into chasing. It's an overlooked tactic on the Kinni, we'll see what happens!
Good luck & Peace.....
