john2, I have yet to fish it. I had a weird set of coincdences a couple of years ago when I met the owner of Brule River Classics Cabins and reconnected with an old friend from 25 years ago who has access to a cabin near Ino, not far from the Brule. That summer I met up with my friend who is the person that got me started fly fishing with the intent of fly fishing for northerns. We took a side trip to Brule River Classics, got pointed to some access points and spent the weekend yakking and watching trout rise, never wetting a line. I doubt the 9wt and musky flys would have done much good. Couldn't connect last year, but this year will be different!
