:: Minnesota Fly Fishing » Reports  ::

remember that where ever you fish to check the regulations for that stream and also remember that some streams in minnesota may have different regulations on the same river just in different sections. Like mentetioned when you look at your maps just pay attention to where the roads cross the streams (bridge) and if it looks like crap just drive down or up to the next. Also another book to pick up if you have the chance is Mike Heck's Spring Creek Fishing and Strategies (I believe this is the name).  He's a Pennsylvania guide that fishes spring creeks, he basically goes through all the basic of insects, how spring creeks work, and different techniques of fly fishing spring creeks. Its a great book and relates closely to Minnesota. Just another one to add along and also just a good read. I also have the book psyfisher is talking about, writen by Jim Humphrey. I just got it and its a very helpful book.

just thought id throw my two cents into the pot.

Tight Lines!!

If you want a book about flies, how to tie them, when to use them, and how to fish them, then you can't go wrong with ross Mueller's two books about fly fishing the Midwest.  He's from Appleton, WI and fishes Iowa , Minnesota, and Wisconsin with frequency.  They are must haves IMO.  If you're looking for maps, particularly for Minnesota, contact the DNR and get the free southeast Mn easement map (also available free at Gander Mountain in Rochester, gateway to southeast Minnesota fishing).

Fishing has been very good all year in southeast MN. 

Another two cents,
