Rainbows vs. Steelhead
Steelhead are an anadromous strain of rainbow trout. That is, they spend most of there life in the ocean or in the Great Lakes and return to tributary streams to spawn.

I?ve had the opportunity to give it a spin; here are my thoughts: The version I tried was a prototype and the taper was based on the GPX line, same taper, same weight, and almost the same color. I...
Thanks Len, I contacted Todd as you suggested.
I didn't realize it was so easy in Pennsylvania, I should move there. :lol:
I can sort of answer this question with a resounding; maybe, if your really lucky. I started Steelheading about 4 years ago on the great Lakes tributaries (Wis. mostly) and for the first 2 years all...
As a former beginer myself, I found the L.L. Bean Deluxe Fly Fishing Book to be the best one one for me.

My suggestion given your criteria would be to look into Dunn County. Dunn County is one county west of Eau Claire and is at the north end of the Driftless Region. It is loaded with small spring...

I currently own a Steelhead, and a Wading net, they are beauties!
I can't speak for the Simms, but I can for the Orvis Pro Guides. I purchased my first pair 6 years ago and they leaked right out of the box. Orvis replaced them on the spot. The second pair lasted a...
The short answer would be sometimes, but not very often and only when necessary. However here in the upper Midwest, early in the year a guy would have to use something that small (Midges for example)...
I purchased mine at REI about 5 or 6 years ago, and there're still going strong. You can buy online at:

I?ve gone in several times. The best one and for me the scariest was one time during a very steady rain fall, I was trying to look over a bank into a fairly large pool. The bank was about 4 feet off...
As a reformed tournament golfer I learned very quickly about playing on the dewy grass and having wet feet the rest of the day. As a result I wore and still wear SealSkinz. They are not Gore-Tex but...
Let me put my perspective on this. Because of the business that I?m in, I am required to have permanent color ink on all that I publish. There are not that many inkjets that have permanent ink, and...

Grubb,
It appears to me that you have a great amount of support here, and that is a good thing. But, you and I know that it isn't enough right now. Life looks pretty bad right now doesn't it? I...
The link that I gave you had everything that you could ask for and more. It has all the trout streams listed in category, for every county in Wisconsin. It lists the season dates and any special...
You didn't say when you may be in Madison and I assume that you will be targeting trout. 1 to 2 hours west of Madison will put you in "Gods Country" with plenty of spring creeks. I'm giving you a...
Well Brad, there are 2 state campgrounds that are right on the river. One is called Copper Range, and the other is Bois Brule Campground. Both are rather rustic and first come first served. Both are...
If you listen to your heart and not your pocketbook, what does it tell you?
I have been a Mac user and owner since '88 and that is the computer that I like the most. I use a PC for work and...
Streams become unfishable when:
There is a flood
The season ends (10/31)
Or, when it becomes hard (ice)
Fall does tend to become more difficult as the insect hatches become less, and less. For...
God's country! If you like to fish spring creeks to wild trout, you will be in business. It would take you a mear lifetime to explore all the water in that area.
I kid you not, God's country.
