Duck Camp

A handful of years ago, my friend Brandon decided to organize a group duck hunt on Castle Rock Lake in Central Wisconsin.

I’d be lying if I told you I remember exactly what sparked that initial trip. And, in the name of honesty, many of the details of our trips have started to blend together now that our treks to Adams County have become an annual event.

Deep fried lake trout bites recipe

Lake trout get a bad rap.

Many people don’t consider these cold-water dwellers to be desirable table fare due to the high amount of natural fat these fish carry.

Fit for a king

This past spring, I was lucky enough to enjoy an incredible steelhead fishing trip close to home with Bailey Adamavich of Crazy4Chrome Guide Service.

During our outing, Bailey mentioned that he guides the Sheboygan River for king salmon in the fall and we talked about how those trips compare to trout fishing floats. He told me about the incredible strength displayed by the kings and promised me I would end the day with two sore arms, if we had a good day.
