Fished and floated Sugar Creek in Indiana this weekend and felt like I was in an Ozark stream. What a beautiful stream. Smallmouth bite was not strong but my friend caught a 21”beauty. #flyfishing #smallmouth #indianastreams

Over one million anglers will drop a line on Minnesota lakes this season, supporting $4.4 billion for local economies and getting folks outside. Great to talk about this time-honored Minnesota tradition on the shore of Big Trout Lake this morning!
