Had a chance to get out today with Sephora. It's official Trout Opener today so I waited until the streams cleared off of people before we headed out. Fish were caught, but the absolute peacefulness and beauty that I experienced today was amazing. Even though I live here I still find myself in disbelief of how sweet it is. Here are a few pics of our adventure.

Where would the world of trout fishing be without the great almighty Bridge? Well it would be pretty hard to access a lot of spots with out them, that's for sure. I personally love to hang out under the bridges of the streams I fish. They can provide some of the best fishing holes on the stream. They can also make for some really nice look out Trout MaGeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01437393088658564694noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6535565652020381837.post-86520203378226817512013-12-18T10:07:00.002-08:002013-12-18T11:19:08.535-08:00Wishin for a nice Spring or Summer Day of fly fishing in Wisconsin's Driftless Area :)

When a three day weekend comes along, I'm pretty sure one day must be dedicated to fishing. Sephora was more than happy to get out there and chase some trout and so was I. We headed to four different streams. The list of streams we hit were in this order:
Yeah Right Creek
Don't Think So Creek
Top Secret River
Mill Creek

Hello,
Tell me if this has ever happened to you?
Your up at 5:00 a.m., the crack of dawn. You just put on a pot of coffee, and you are getting all your fishing gear ready. Ahh the sweet feeling of getting out there before everyone else is even awake. You get all of your gear packed into the car, coffee in hand and tell the family you will see them later.

Yesterday I received a nice shiny red package in the mail. On the package was a name I recognized and got excited instantly. It was from a fellow fishin bud : John of the Blog: Currents. An awesome blog full of photos, flies, trips and tips of fishing Iowa's Driftless Area. (GO CHECK IT OUT) When I tore into the package this is what was in it.
