The Driftless Area is a land of deep ravines, limestone bluffs, and labyrinthine caves hiding among the cornfields of the Upper Midwest. Hundreds of spring-fed streams with evocative names like Castle Rock Creek, Cold Spring Brook and Coon Valley Creek tumble through the valleys towards the Mississippi—and those are just the “Cs”. Aquatic insects are abundant in the cold, calcium-rich water, as are the trout that feed on them.
I took a “gap year” from my business career nearly ten years ago to fish the Driftless Area, and I am still at it. I hope you enjoy reading about fishing the Driftless Area as much as I enjoyed writing about it.
