Only about 1/10″ of rain fell yesterday morning,having no effect on the watersheds.Tricos continue to be the strongest game but the fishing seems to be getting slightly stronger after the morning hatch. Beetles and hoppers are making a strong showing in the grasses along the streams. Nymphing has netted a few fish after the hatch. Target the deeper faster water. Overall the fish look fat and sassy so I don’t think food is a problem right now. Evenings have been relatively devoid of hatches, possibly the heat is just to stressful for successful emergence. For those interested, Minnesota Bound will be doing a program on the Kinnickinnic this Sunday August 3rd at 10:35PM and again on August 9th at 6:30PM. Yours truly hosted KARE 11’s Belinda Jensen and her Father for a little trout fishing, with stops along the way at the Kinnickinnic River Land Trust and Kinni Creek Outfitters/B&B. I have not seen it yet so I don’t know how proud to be.
See Ya

Again, awesome site and a great resources for all in the community. Tricos are too early in the morning for me. Just a quick note, Smallmouth fishing has been unreal as of late. Yesterday saw warm weather and there’s nothing better than wet wading in a river loaded with Smallies! Perfect time to fish easy accessible rivers like the Cannon and Zumbro on foot. The Cannon fished very well with lots of fish hitting clouser minnows. Most fish were not big, but the numbers were outstanding. Subtle takes with slow strips, the flies were sipped rather than pounded. Keep a finger on the line to feel the takes!
Cheers.
Hi, I saw the show and was very impressed. I’m going to try to get my father to come up from AZ to fish this beautiful river. Thanks!
