Yes George. Wolf brought to hand about 13 or 14 for the day. All released. I
managed to land only 3. Hooked and lost 3 others and had many strikes. All in
the 9-11" range. All Brown's except for one nice fat Rainbow Wolf got.

The weather stayed almost perfect for the day. 50-55º, overcast, and no rain.


We spent a good part of the AM scouting around. Never got fuirther west than
Trout Creek where we fished several spots. Had good luck there. Ended the day
at Black Earth Creek again with much success.

A caddis emerger was, most likely, the best fly to use but I got my first
hookup on, of all things, a Royal Trude. Go figure. The fly of the day for
Wolf was - you guessed it - the Pass Lake. Why that stupid fly attracts any
fish is beyond me. But it do! And my man Wolf certainly knows how to present
it.

It was a real fine day and we missed ya. Next time.

odd enough...on a lark, i tied on a royal trude when we fished that
stream last year near merrill with gc and the jazzman (anyone heard of
or from him?) in the evening. caught fish after fish with it...didn't do
as well with anything else. when in wisconsin, gotta do the trude,
dude! g

looking forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks.

Joel pretty much covered it. I'll simply add that it was great to be
out fishing in good company and that I only caught fish after moving
into whatever spot Joel had just left.....they just don't like that
boy.

Not to highjack your thread or nothin, but.....

my buddy, Harry, will be visiting his offspring in Madison this weekend. I
made the gross faux pas of mentioning that I had read that there were
troutly streams in the area and now, well, brother can ya spare a tip? Is
there a stream that you would recommend a stretch of water to hit for a
couple of hours within striking distance of Madison?

Ditto Black Earth Creek. There are also a lot of other streams within
a couple hours drive of Madison. Joel and Wayne Knight are more
familiar with the area than I am, so you should hit them up for more
specific recommendations.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources publishes a guide to
regulations detailing what limits pertain to virtually all of the
trout water in the state:

http://dnr.wi.gov/org/water/fhp/fish...ts/trout04.pdf

There is also a series of maps accessible by clicking on the desired
region of the state map at:

http://dnr.wi.gov/org/water/fhp/fish...utsalmon.shtml

Both the written descriptions and the maps are scanned directly from
the published hard copy trout regulations which are available
throughout the state, free of charge, wherever fishing licenses are
sold. Of course, you can simply download the PDF files from the web
as well. With this information and a DeLorme atlas of Wisconsin, it
will be easy to find plenty of places to fish.

Tell Harry, "Good luck!" and he owes us a trip report.
