Guiding Service


Fly fishing for trout on Southeast Minnesota's Root and Whitewater river systems. I have over 40 years experience fly fishing and over 25 years guiding both beginning and advanced fly fishermen.

Both the Root and Whitewater rivers flow through SE Minnesota's driftless area. We fish for brook, brown or rainbow trout and have a fantastic variety of streams and rivers to choose from in those systems. The typical day depends on your skill level and goals. If you are a beginner, we can review your casting, discuss the set-up and how to approach the river. If you are more advanced, the day is yours and depending on the season, we will discuss what hatches to look for and plan accordingly. If you have your own rod & reel you are free to bring them along or I can supply the equipment using Sage Rods & Reels spooled with Rio Fly Line. My primary goal is for you to enjoy your day and time on the water.

If you are visiting the Twin Cities or the Rochester area, I have Simms Waders and Boots available for rental for an additional $50.00 per day. I am using new model Headwaters Gortex waders and Vapor Boots. E-mail me at Bob7336@gmail.com or call 952-797-2600.

Brule River Fishing Trip 10/16/10

I had a chance to take Markus Benson on a trip to the Brule River for steelhead this week end. Markus had fly fished some in the past but not for steelhead so he was not sure what to expect. Sometime about the middle of the day he caught a 16" skip jack. We all know that they make our heart beat when they first bite and are a lot of fun, But......they really don't count. Markus however was thrilled so I did not what to minimize his success and told him that yes, this was a steelhead, but they get bigger. Later, when he hooked a nice steelhead out of Shady Glen on a Prince Nymph he soon learned the difference between any other fish and a fresh steelhead. All-in-all a fun day.
