What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: You're standing knee-deep in the crisp, clear waters of the Brule, mist rising off the surface as the morning sun peeks through the trees. Guide Cory's got you dialed in on the perfect spot, where he knows the big ones are hiding. With four solid hours on the water, you've got plenty of time to work different techniques and really get a feel for the river. We kick off at 7 AM sharp, but don't worry about bringing a ton of gear – we've got you covered with all the rods, reels, and tackle you'll need. Just make sure you've got that fishing license in your pocket, and we'll handle the rest. And hey, if you want to bring along a couple buddies, no problem. We can add extra anglers for a small fee, so everyone can get in on the action.

Techniques That Land Lunkers

Alright, let's talk strategy. On the Brule, we're not just chucking bait and hoping for the best. Cory's got a whole playbook of techniques to put you on fish. We might start with some drift fishing, letting our offerings float naturally through prime lies. Or, if the conditions are right, we could break out the fly rods and work some streamers through deep pools. Depending on the season, you might find yourself swinging flies for steelhead or dead-drifting nymphs for wary browns. Cory's always got his finger on the pulse of what's working, so trust his lead and you'll be into fish before you know it.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

"Corey is a super nice guy and very knowledgeable guide. We really appreciate and enjoyed time together on the Brûlée river!" - David

"Corey was awesome!! Reason for my booking was 100% educational - I wanted the how's and why's. Told that to Cory ahead of trip and that catching fish was secondary (maybe even tertiary) to that. He really delivered - from his set-ups and reasons for the various rods, to techinques, reading water, and details about the various presentations we offered. He is an awesome resource, patient teacher, and a great guy to spend time with on the water (and fish to boot). In summary, a great day. Highly recommend." - Kyle

Species You'll Want to Hook

Coho Salmon: These silver bullets are the bread and butter of fall fishing on the Brule. Averaging 5-10 pounds, coho are known for their acrobatic fights and delicious meat. They typically start running up the river in September, with peak action lasting through October. When a fresh coho hits your line, hang on tight – these fish will have you chasing them downstream in no time!

Steelhead Trout: The crown jewel of Great Lakes tributaries, steelhead are the ultimate prize for many Brule anglers. These sea-run rainbows can reach sizes over 10 pounds and are famous for their blistering runs and aerial displays. Spring and fall are prime times to target these chrome-bright beauties. Landing a Brule steelhead is a true badge of honor in the fishing world.

Brown Trout: The Brule's resident browns are a crafty bunch, often lurking in undercut banks and deep pools. While they might not reach the size of their lake-run cousins, a 20-inch Brule brown is a trophy in its own right. These fish respond well to stealthy presentations and are a great target for fly anglers looking to test their skills.

Brook Trout: Don't let their size fool you – the Brule's native brookies are some of the most beautiful fish you'll ever lay eyes on. These jewels of the river are most active in the cooler months and put up a spirited fight on light tackle. While you might not fill the freezer with brookies, catching these colorful natives is a true taste of the Northwoods.
