Trout Streams

Wisconsin

> The Bois Brule River

This incredibly expensive estate holds most of the land on a prime upper stretch of one of the midwest's best trout streams, and it's the envy of hundreds of anglers who float by it every summer.

An annoying, trout-scaring brood of mergansers shoots a rapids in reverse.

Some mergansers stretch and prepare to evacuate their rock as our canoe nears.

This beautiful habitat held some big risers that were too wary for me on one late July morning.

All along this fertile river, cedar sweepers like these shelter small brookies, browns, and rainbows.

A remote, lake-like stretch of a trout river provides refuge for large, reclusive browns.
