There was a full house with 12 of us at the Romance Valley Retreat near Viroqua, Wisconsin for a weekend of fly fishing the first weekend in June. We carpooled from the Cities to a rented vacation house near miles of incredible trout streams in the Driftless Region of Wisconsin. Everyone brought their own equipment and I’ll post them.
Members of the club mentored youth ages 11-17 to teach basic fly fishing skills that included practice on a stream. The event is sponsored annually by the Minnesota DNR at the end of May.
