Craigthor,

Thanks for your interest. I grew up learning to fish for trout on Minnesota's Lake Superior North Shore, have fished since the early 1970's in the northern edge of the Driftless, fish a few days every year in far SE Minnesota, and now live in the St. Croix River Valley, fishing large and small freestone and spring creeks. My stories and essays are pulled from experiences over these parts of the Upper Midwest. Streams can vary considerably from one valley to the next. I find what works best in one stream might not work at all just a few miles away.

For a sense of my stories, take a look on this site at "Winter Dreaming" here: http://smallstreams.com/showthread.p...inter-Dreaming --- or "Two Miles In" here: http://smallstreams.com/showthread.p...8-Two-Miles-In

The "Two Miles In" posted here on Smallstreams is a draft of the first part only of a longer story that appears in FISHING LESSONS.
