The winds of change are often gentle at first, but they freshen with time. Little by little, old ideas fade away, replaced by new ones. Only hindsight reveals when a transition actually occurred. For wet fly fishing in America, the winds of change began in 1941 with publication of The Art of Tying the Wet Fly by James Leisenring. Read More

New places to fish, thanks in part to us
By Topf Wells
About 6 weeks ago, the DNR obtained two new fishing easements from Gary Langfoss, a generous landowner: one on Kittleson Creek and the other on Gordon Creek. The Kittleson easement connects two existing DNR easements on River Forks Road, both of which have been restored. The Gordon easement is contiguously downstream of the Jorenby easement, accessible from CTH A, that too has been restored. Together, these new easements offer 1000s of feet of public fishing on two excellent and nearby trout streams. Read More

Not only do we have a Women’s Basics and a Women’s Intermediate Clinic each June, we have a group of over 50 women who have become Riverbuddies and mentor other women on their first experience on the water from the Basics clinic. To our knowledge we are the only TU chapter offering a clinic specifically for women to learn how to take other women out on the stream. Congratulations to everyone! The support our clinics have from our membership makes these some of the best clinics in the US and definitely in the Midwest! Read More

DNR Finishes work on Black Earth Creek
By Topf Wells
As you drive CTH KP between Cross Plains and Salmo Pond, keep an eye out for a new DNR fishing easement sign and a large path through a cornfield. Park the car, grab your fishing gear, and follow that yellow brick road. What could be better than Oz or Kansas? A newly restored piece of Black Earth Creek. Read More
