Root River fishing report

Southeast Minnesota Fly Fishing Report Jan 2024

As of 1/1/24 all streams in SE MN are open for catch and release. With our unusual warm weather fishing has been excellent this winter so far. We have been able to catch fish with dry flies using small midge flies.  The majority of the fish we have been catching have been using nymphs with a indicator. A few trout have been caught with smaller streamers. Trout are still being spotted spawning on beds. We are currently booking guided trips for 2024.

Flies Recommended:

#16 Diabetis Nymph

#18 Zebra Midge

#8 Wooly Bugger Black or Olive

#14-16 Scud Pink, Orange or Green.
