Here is a slideshow I just put together
Enjoy!
Spinner Thats some great water you fish there 
I think the “driftless area” is going to make it onto my list of places I want to fish. I have to know though why do they call it the driftless area?
I vote spinner1 host the next fish in where those pictures were taken. :lol:
The Driftless Area or Paleozoic Plateau is a region in the American Midwest noted mainly for its deeply carved river valleys. While primarily in southwest Wisconsin, it includes areas of southeast Minnesota, northeast Iowa and northwest Illinois (see map at right). This region includes elevations ranging from 603 to 1,450 feet (184 to 442 m) and covers an area of 16,203 square miles (41,986 km?). This region’s peculiar terrain is due to its having escaped glaciation in the most recent ice age.
Spinner,
Mouthwatering, and so close to home too. Thanks for sharing.

I second the motion!

The only problem with that area is that they MAKE you eat cheese a drink BRANDY Manhattans. 
It IS Wisconsin after all.
Mark
They won’t have to make me eat cheese. They can’t make me drink brandy. So I’m looking forward to seeing a Driftless Fish-In posted.

Hey Len: Where are the COWS?
:lol: Actually they are Old Fashions, and you can substitue whiskey if you like! With an Old Style chaser and some pickled sausage…YUM!!
Wonderful slideshow, and some of those pictures are just brilliant, especially those big browns.
I’ll put it on my list of places to visit in the upcoming seasons!
Thanks!
added couple photos from today and found a photo of you with some cows.
Len
aw shucks, THANX
Well, yes, NW Illinois is part of the Driftless but, being Ill-annoys, it’s the only part without trout!
Great slide show, BTW.
Are any of those monster browns planted brood stock? I know they used to stick those in Castle Rock. In any event, I think those biggies should be removed from the streams. They’re cannibals!
Chuck
no brown or brookies are stocker/brooders…
ALL bows are brooders.
I don’t fish C/R only areas…lunker structures…
I consider them PETTING ZOOS
Want a challenge
great slide show!!!
I’ve never fished that area but maybe someday…
I’ve still got my hands full trying to explore water out here in Oregon…
love those big browns and brookies though…

You guys that haven’t fished the driftless aughta. I fished with with spinner and it’s a great intro to the area.
I’m envious of the fish - but the pic with the cows made me pee my pants.
However - I’m am a little miffed at Wisconsin - they beat up on my poor hapless Hawkeyes from Iowa this past weekend.
