Guided Trips

•A day trip for 1 to 3 anglers includes transportation from Madison, Wisconsin to the streams. If you are staying in the Driftless Area, Jim will pick you up at your motel, bed and breakfast, or campground.
• A day with Jim is not just 8 hours. You can fish from dawn to dusk if you choose.
• All flies used during the day are included. Jim is a master fly tier and has many proven patterns for the area streams.
• Tackle can be provided or you may bring you own. Fly rods for 2 to 5 weight lines are recommended.
•Sometime during the day you will pause for a grilled gourmet lunch. Ask about menu choices or let Jim cook one of his delicious favorites.
• 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.
