7/14/2006	tom	I recently move to the Chicago area, and am looking for good fly fishing within about a 4-hour drive. My only chance to get away this summer is mid-August (horrible time for trout, I know.) Can anyone recommend a good spring creek (likely to stay relatively cold) where I might have some luck? THANKS!
6/24/2006	ron burgundy	hello everyone, i have recently heard that Shioc River in Bonduel has been shocked by the DNR. The results were astonishing. there are lots of brooks, few rainbows in the Shioc. The local boys fish this stream with a hook and worm, theres really no room to fly fish. But red river up in Gresham is big enough and full of trout. This is all located in Shawano county in WI.
6/22/2006	Francesca	Hello, I will be in Winneconne in the middle of July and I would like to find a place to fly fish nearby. Can anyone recommend a spot in Winnebago, Waushara, or Fond Du Lac counties? If so, please email me. Thanks!

4/19/2006	ANDY	Fished Grant County yesterday and saw one of the most prolific caddis hatches that i have ever seen. Size was #16 in mottled brown. it was so windy, however that it was difficult to get your fly in position even with a 6WT. Not too many fish rising for flies because they were getting blown off the water before the fish had a chance at them. Amont the 14 trout were a 13" brookie and a 21" rainbow.

4/17/2006	Decbrown	I am going down the Richland Center for the week for turkeys and trout. Any reports down there for current hatches? I fish primarily the Willow and Pine rivers as well as Bear Valley. Thanks.
4/17/2006	Decbrown	DanJ- The Northwoods TU chapter is in Rhinelander and the contact person is Brian Hegge. Here is the link to the WI TU website and from there, you can find the Northwoods chapter. http://www.wisconsintu.org/ They should be a good starting point for local streams and such. Good luck to you.
4/16/2006	Mark W.	DanJ, When you buy a trout fishing licence you will receive a booklet of our trout streams, state-wide, your area included. I suspect you will not believe the number of streams you have access to in your area. They are everywhere. Good luck.
4/15/2006	Dan J.	Hello Fellow Fly Fisherman- I live in the state of Maine and I have recently accepted a Job in Rhinelander Wi...I will be moving into the area by June. If there is anybody that can point me in the right direction for trout in that area i would be most greatfull.

7/30/2005	Afton Angler	Northwestern Wisconsin is dry - the Brule is hot however. The Brule is fishing well and should be in fine shape for the remainder of the season. The Namekagon is in dire need of precip. Until about mid July it was fishing very well. Beautiful river that gets a bit too warm in late summer. Pierce and St. Croix County spring creeks are in fine shape and the Trico hatch is going full swing. Lots of terrestrial action too boot! Send me an email if you are interested in a full report. Lots of great angling ahead... The lakeruns are just beginning on the Lake Superior Tribs and the season runs until mid November.
