The Kinni is blown out after last nights storm.  It normally runs at 85 cubic feet per second, today it is running at 2600 cfs. It is going to take a few days for this to clear out. Hopefully all of our trout won’t end up in the Gulf of Mexico!

Tree fell and floated by a few minutes ago!

This sign is 3.5 feet tall and is completely under water this morning.

Mid-Summer Brown on a Trico

The Kinnickinnic is in wonderful midsummer form and a pleasure to negotiate.  Fishing was fantastic all day, beginning with an early morning Tricco hatch.  Kinni Creek Lodge & Outfitters made the experience effortless which only added to my enjoyment.  Thanks Paige.

Free fishing weekend events are a great opportunity for childrent to learn how to fish.

Every year, the first consecutive Saturday and Sunday in June is designated as Free Fishing Weekend throughout the state of Wisconsin. All the waters of the state are open, including state waters of the Great Lakes and rivers bordering Wisconsin. Residents and nonresidents of all ages can fish without a fishing license (or trout or salmon stamps) over these two days. However, all other fishing regulations (length limits, bag limits, etc.) apply.

Pack up the family or call your friends and head to the water. Fishing clinics and special activities are planned at state and local parks throughout Wisconsin. No fishing pole? No worries! Contact a Tackle Loaner site at one of several state parks and DNR regional offices to borrow one.

Because children under the age of 16 do not need a fishing license to fish on any day of the year, the motto for Free Fishing Weekend could be, “Take a grown-up fishing!”
