You won’t want to miss our April 8 Chapter Gathering

Learn tactics for targeting the biggest trout in the creek at SWTU’s April 8, 2025, Chapter Gathering. Presenting will be Tim O’Connor of The Musky Fool fly shop in Waunakee (muskyfool.com).

Why learn to fish streamers? Because lots of time they’re a great choice. At different times of the year and in different conditions, streamers might be the type of fly that gives you the best chance at a fish. If this is the season you’re absolutely, definitely going all out to catch the 20+ inch brown trout, you absolutely, definitely should know how to fish a streamer. SWTU is here to help.

The driftless is home to a myriad of spring creeks loaded with trout, most of which are on the smaller size. Yet, the big ones do exist and are quite prevalent if you know where to find them and how to approach them. It takes a totally different set of tactics, gear and mindset. The techniques covered in this seminar are scalable to rods ranging from 4 to 8 weights, and will help in building the fundamental skills of streamer fishing for all species.

Tim O’Connor of Musky Fool is an accomplished streamer angler who has some excellent approaches and tips for streamer fishing. He’ll share those at our April 8 meeting.

We gather, as always, at Schwoeglers on Grand Canyon Drive on Madison’s West Side. Dinner and drinks will be available starting at 5:30 p.m. with Ann’s presentation following some brief updates at 7.
