I fished a small river in northern WI on Saturday evening - it eventually drains to Lake Superior but this was above barriers that prevent upstream migration of steelhead, etc. This was the first time I had fished this river, or any of the other trout streams in the general area.
It was fairly small water, and there had clearly been a major flood event in the last couple years - lots of trees down and the stream bed was scoured really clean.
I thought it looked like darn good brook trout water, but was pretty surprised when a nice little brown snatched my wet fly:
Farther upstream I did find some hungry brookies and lots of neat water.
I’d like to get back and fish this stream again and explore farther upstream where I don’t think the fish see much or any pressure, plus the lower river and other local rivers that are somewhat larger.
