Lower Kinni 6.10.15

Aaron Avestruz

Aric went in the morning from about 9:00 to 11:30, catching two on caddis dries and missing a handful more. There was a decent caddis hatch and the fish were rising quite a bit. We went in the evening from about 7:00 to 9:45 and caught six total on the surface — five on caddis dries and one on a sulphur. The fish were rising sporadically until about 8:45 when they really got going, but when we arrived the occasional riser was usually willing to take an x-caddis.

Let’s hope today’s rains don’t muck up the streams too badly!

Lower Kinni 6.9.15

Aaron Avestruz

After the rains over the weekend, the Kinni is back to about normal flows and is clear to slightly stained. Aric fished the Lower Kinni tonight while I was in Menomonie coaching basketball and did pretty well. Caddis were in the air when he got to the river around 7:00 pm and sulphurs began coming off around 8:00. He caught four total–including a nice 13.5″–on the surface using size 16 caddis and size 18 sulfur dries.

Welcome to On The Rise! Here, you can view our videos and photography, as well as the latest fishing reports. As we get into the late summer and fall, we’ll also be posting whitetail hunting content.

This all began last summer when I filmed my brother, Aric, fly fishing on the Kinnickinnic River near our house and made a short video titled “Knee Deep — Fly Fishing the Kinni”. Our first video was pretty raw, but received lots of positive comments and even made it on the Orvis Friday Fly Fishing Film Festival. As the summer continued, we made a couple more videos and increased viewership. I have since decided to create a website so all our videos can be found in one place. Special thanks to my cousin Brose for inspiring me to create the website, as well as creating our sweet logo!

Stay tuned, as we will have a new video coming soon.
