Last weekend I went with the St. Paul Fly Tiers and Fisherman's Club up to the Brule River to catch some Steelhead. I think it had been a couple years since I had bite, but I was hoping this weekend would be different. We were staying at a cabin right on the river which allowed for easy access which was good since i did need to study for my Business Ethics class. So I did have high aspirations but low expectations.
On Friday after cooking breakfast I went with out with another Fly Tier Joe Lucey near the cabin. I managed to hook and land a 25 incher in the morning. My first steelhead in years and first over 20 inches. This allowed me to study in the afternoon and enjoy Bob Feiker's rib dinner in the evening.
Saturday morning after breakfast Joe and I headed out again and i caught another 25 incher from a different hole. What luck, two fish in one weekend. Again in the afternoon I studied and enjoyed Tony Stifter's grilled steaks in the evening. We had 18 people show up for dinner.
On Sunday I made the breakfast again for everyone and went out by myself right away. I found a spot i wanted too try and i caught a 23 incher. Using a little tripod I was able to take some pictures. I was three for three with a fish each day. All fish were on a glo-bug. I will probably never have another weekend like it on the Brule.
