What to Expect/Timeline

Expect to be walking and wading a small driftless creek all day. Most streams range in size between a sidewalk and a two lane road, to give you some perspective. You will be on your feet and actively moving, getting in and out of the creek, and fishing from the creek and also from shore. We will fish nymphs, dry flies, and streamers depending on the hatch and what the fish are feeding on. However, George will choose a location that is a best match for your physical ability, fly fishing experience, and overall goals for the day.

Here is a general timeframe, however, times are subject to change depending on location, season, and conditions.

• 7:30 Arrival, meet/greet, and gear up
• 8:00 Begin fishing
• 12:00 Noon 30 minute Lunch Break
• 4:00 End fishing and walk back to the put-in or shuttle

About the Trip

George and the client(s) will meet at an arranged location depending on the location we will be fishing. We can meet for breakfast, at the creek or drive together depending on your location. Most of the creeks we fish will be located in the southern Driftless area in Iowa, Grant, and Crawford counties. The possibilities are endless when it comes to fishing the spring creeks of the Driftless, however, there are proven spots that are managed by the DNR and Trout Unlimited along with George’s secret spots that bring you more off the grid. No matter what creek we fish, you will experience the beauty and ambiance of the Driftless and catch many Brown Trout and/or Brookies, with the hope of landing a trophy.
