Photos by Troutnut from the Namekagon River in Wisconsin

A black bear cub stares down at me from a large pine near one of my favorite trout streams. From McNaught Road, near the upper Namekagon in Wisconsin. A black bear cub shimmies down a tree trunk near one of my favorite trout streams. From McNaught Road, near the upper Namekagon in Wisconsin. A 19-inch smallmouth puts a hefty bend in my 5-weight. From the Namekagon River below Hayward in Wisconsin. The 5 am mist rises off a classic hole on a favorite river. I'd just spent the last few hours of that moonless night working this hole with big pusher flies in the pitch black darkness, running on caffeine until about 4:15 and adrenaline from that point on, after feeling a whale of a brown trout on my line for about 15 seconds. Unfortunately the fish spit the hook, but it was an unforgettable experience. From the Namekagon River in Wisconsin.
