Southeast Minnesota Fly Fishing Report October 2023

Southeast Minnesota Fly Fishing Report October 2023

Fly Fishing isn't closed for people who are willing to brave the winter. There are a few designated areas. A few of those areas are Lanesboro city limits, Preston city limits, Forestville State Park, White Water State Park, Chatfield, Rushford and Spring Valley. The areas that have been fishing well for us this week and been through lanesboro using Nymphs and Streamers and Forestville has been getting a decent BWO hatch in the afternoons. Water levels are still low but rain is expected this week along with a big temperature drop. We have also noticed on a few of the streams that the brown trout are starting to spawn and Redds are showing up so watch your step out there. Guided trips are still available.

Flies Recommended:

#16 Prince Nymph

#18 BWO

#8 Wooly Bugger Black or Olive

#14-16 Scud Pink, Orange or Green.
