Presenting the fly is a key to success. Fishing techniques, casting techniques, and reading the water to understand where to find trout are part of a day on the stream.
• If you are interested in the aquatic entomology of the streams, he will do an insect sampling to get a better understanding of what food organisms are available to the trout. • A Wisconsin Fishing License and Inland Trout Stamp are needed. These can be purchased online through the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources website. • Bring wading gear, Polaroid sunglasses, sunscreen, a rain coat, and a great attitude for a fun day. |
