Trout Fishing in Southwest Wisconsin

 Deep in the heart of the American Midwest, lies a little-known region of rugged hills and cold rushing trout streams called the “Driftless Area.” And although this 24,000-square-mile region covers portions of four states – Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois – Wisconsin’s share is by far the largest, with more than 5,000 miles of trout waters. Best-selling author John van Vliet will help you unlock the secrets of Wisconsin’s Driftless streams with this comprehensive new guidebook. Inside, you’ll find descriptions of more than 85 trout streams, complete with detailed maps, a section on tackle and techniques for fishing small streams, easy-to-read hatch charts and recommended fly patterns. 

Plus, thanks to a groundbreaking collaboration between Trout Run Press and TroutRoutes®, the number-one trout-fishing app, you can get real-time information on access, regulations and more, simply by scanning the QR codes next to each stream map.* 

Let this thorough and informative guidebook help you explore and discover the trout streams of Wisconsin’s unique and beautiful Driftless Area.
