  • While headed out to fish Steelhead at the Pikes Creek, WI. a local resident started yelling at me for being too close to his land despite the Creek being public.

      You have to see it from the home owners view too, probably a bunch of people trespass and litter that spot. Sometimes you precursor your child with a disciplinary statement before they go out at night, with the gf etc. that home owner was doing the same.
      Laying down some anger in hopes to drive respect for his land. Not the correct way of doing it but I get it.

    You made it look so easy. Made me almost want to go down there and give it another shot. I used to come down from MN mostly in the Fall and fish the Root and Pike mostly in the late 90's and early '00's. Came down once or twice in the Spring and never had any luck. Haven't fished salmon or trout in years.
