Wisconsin Opener

BEC is slowly coming back. But I would recommend the spring creeks further
west, west of Richland Center. And there actually are some places to stay
in that area. Just avoid the Super 8 in Virocqua. Assholes.


I fished the area south of Richland Center that lays south of the
Wisconsin River. I first went to a couple of spring creeks I was sent to
but they were in the middle of cow pastures where the cows were allowed
to trample down the banks and muddy the water. Not too appealing to me.
However, every little valley in the area has its own little spring
creek. I drove around the area and found a couple little gems that ran
through forested areas with no cows. Surprisingly big fish for the size
of the water. I thought it was a very cool area. The small towns had
alot of character and the country was pretty.

I don't have any suggestions. I don't know where to fly fish in
I'm far past ready to FISH somewhere, and I don't really give a

I'm sittin' here watching it snow, AGAIN, and I'm itchin' to make
a hotel reservation somewhere.

I agree. I'm seriously considering the Owens Gorge for this weekend. Brown
trouts and no crowd, if you don't mind hiking through the puckerbrush for a
while. While the weather isn't forecasted to be nice, if you bundle up you
won't freeze to death and the water will be in a liquid state.

Wisconsin where one can expect anything other than abysmal fishing
conditions on the first Saturday of March. And I agree with Wolfie
about Black Earth Creek. It wasn't my favorite stream the last
time ROFFians gathered there for the Wisconsin Opener and it's no
doubt worse now since some idiot poisoned the damn thing.

But, ****ty as it was/is, it was close to Madison with all that
implies in terms of hotels, restaurants and most importantly for
us driving in from a distance, clear Interstate highways.
