2021 Minnesota Opener
Our 2021 Minnesota season is off to a hot start. Stable weather patterns finally brought warm temps to the north woods and the fish were ready to eat. Client Taylor joined Tanner for 2 days floating the river, and went from never casting a fly rod to tangling with quality sized bass on the streamer. Nice work Taylor! The river fishing will only get better from here on out!
Early Season Exploring
Collin, Tanner and fishing buddy Matt checked out Wisconsin’s inland year round catch and release bass season. Cold seasons like early spring and fall, often have short bite windows, so make sure to have those strip sets ready to go! Here is Matt with a solid pre-spawn football that couldn’t resist a Nightmare Flies big byrd streamer.
