Brule River is now closed for the season.

It was a tough fall on the Brule to say the least. Timing was critical with the limited rain, this fishing was always better a few days before I was there. It will be interesting to see the DNR's fall run report, I'm guessing there are still a few thousand fish left to come in.

Closing day chrome.

I will be offering a limited number of ice rods this winter, look for a prototype of a heatable handle in the near future. I'm also be accepting rod orders with a down payment of the blank cost for a spring delivery.
