A few weeks ago I went down to Lanesboro, MN on a trout fishing recon mission. I too have had a long interest in the Driftless area. I was very encouraged by what I saw and learned. The area is beautiful. Steve, at the Root River Rod Company (Lanesboro) was very helpful. I plan to return soon for a guided wade fish – 1/2 day trip to learn the ins and outs.
I also purchased the book Trout Fishing in Southeast Minnesota which appears to be an excellent resource. By the end of June I will have been on waters in the Montrose, CO area, the Black Hills, SD and southeast Minnesota….grateful for Pfizer!
