The cool thing about this fly fishing thing we like to do is that there is never an end to the learning. Well there is never and end if you so choose I suppose.. Every time you hit the water the changing seasons will force you to learn something new or go home empty handed. Even on your home waters or even just familiar waters for that matter, you can try a new technique or try to target different fish.

Having an entire month dedicated to early season head hunting was such a cool way to approach familiar waters and it allowed us so many different opportunities to learn. Most of that learning came with a whopping side of heart ache, but every now and then the learning kind of paid off.

Spring is a fickle season.. but this is where magic can happen for those hard nosed anglers willing to embrace the grind. Now it’s hard to say if a month will be sufficient.. because week by week new challenges will bubble up.. the aim, it will remain the same, even if that means shooting toward a moving target at times.

No matter what the weather looks like, or what the water conditions might be. The goal is to dial in on the brown trout swimming in these muddy waters. Hunting for that one big bite, we are going to experience everything spring has to offer.. The good, the bad, and the downright ugly..

Folks this is going to be one dedicated month of fly fishing the best trout water in the Midwest.

Hope you enjoy the story.
