Grouse, you're not far from us. There's a wonderful event in SW Wis this weekend where your friend could get plenty of advice, learn about the region's fishing opportunities and much more. Go here:

Otherwise I second the motion on contacting Joseph at One More Cast.

p.s. there are streams in sw wi and se mn that are recovering nicely, but some towns in SE MN can still use folks willing to roll up their sleeves and get to work mucking them out. I have temporarily foregone fishing for volunteering.
