St. Croix and Kinni - big weekend

Started out the fishing weekend Friday taking Tom and Dana on a float down my favorite stretch of water from Fox Landing to Hwy 70.  Driving across the river to Wild River Outfitters there were 2 drift boats already in and fishing and a 3rd at Wild River.  It was to be a beautiful day and it didn't disappoint.

Fishing started a little slow and I was surprised the fish weren't in the faster water yet.  Seams and pocket water held fish but mostly slower water by drop-offs and steep shorelines.  Overall I think we got about 15-20 smallies - all on top water and a few pike and walleyes.

The next day Brian and I took our eldest out for the first joint trout fishing on the Kinni.  We went in at River Falls and had low expectations.  There were few people out so we were able to hit some nice water right away and to our surprise caught a few - I think all on prince nymphs.

The more humours part was that Gus and Collin got temporarily separated from us.  Since they were fine it was pretty funny - they stayed close by for the rest of the morning.
