This discussion is about the Bois Brule River

A small brown trout jumps at the end of my line. Photo by Sandy Neuswanger. Yes, the most popular photo on this website was taken by my mom when I handed off the camera to play this fish! From the Bois Brule River in Wisconsin. In this picture: Insect Order Trichoptera (Caddisflies). From the Bois Brule River in Wisconsin. Ephemerella excrucians (Pale Morning Dun) Mayfly Nymph from the Bois Brule River in Wisconsin This looks like a normal lake at first, but it's actually a natural, shallow widening in the channel of a famous trout stream. On clear days canoeists drift through and watch small trout and suckers swim beneath them. Large brown trout lay hidden in the weeds, hard to catch during the day but a fun challenge for any angler willing to brave the mosquitoes. From the Bois Brule River in Wisconsin.

Posts: 1My wife and I will be visiting Brule in Mid-July, staying for several days. Any advice on fly fishing spots on the Brule River would be appreciated

Posts: 2737		The upper river, state highway S and US highway 2, is the classic trout water. A canoe trip from S down to Winneboujou landing is a popular option that covers the majority of this reach.

I don't want to give away secret walk-in spots people told me in confidence, but if you have several days you should be able to find some good ones on your own. There aren't all that many public ways to access it, so good maps are your friend. If you go to any of the really obvious spots (bridges, etc) you'll probably have company and find moderately-pressured fish.

To reach the best fishing without floating, you'll want to walk farther from the easy access points, either by wading long distances or by hiking long distances through lesser-known public land routes.
