Incredible morning .....

The streams of SE Minnesota are in excellent condition - running clear and the terrestrial action has been fast and furious. This morning it was one of those times when all the stars aligned and all was right in the universe. The big Browns were acting ravenous and on the prowl for large meals. The Dave's Hopper I was throwing ended up being dismembered and had to be retired after being slammed repeatedly for several hours.  In one pool I landed a 17' Brown, a 16 1/2" and a 16". Stop into the Driftless Fly Fishing Company fly shop in Preston, MN - pick up your terrestrial patterns and book a guided trip for your chance to land a gorgeous Brown trout and experience what all the Driftless area of Minnesota has to offer!
