the Original Guides to
Trout Fishing in the Driftless Area
In the quiet and rural heart of the American Midwest lies a beautiful region of rolling hills and cold spring creeks called the Driftless Area. Untouched by the scouring effects of the last ice age, this dendritic quilt of deep wooded valleys and clear serpentine streams covers more than 24,000 square miles. But to the trout angler, the beauty is more than skin deep. It is one of the highest concentration of spring creeks in the world. And there are trout here. Let our guidebooks help you explore the unique beauty and outstanding fishing in the Driftless Area.
Trout Fishing In Southeast Minnesota, 4th Edition
A guide to the streams and rivers of Minnesota’s Driftless Area, now with interactive maps powered by TroutRoutes™.
By John van Vliet.
Back in 1992, best-selling fly-fishing author John van Vliet created the very first guide to one of the country’s finest—and least-known—trout-fishing regions: the rugged and beautiful Driftless Area of southeastern Minnesota. Here in this thoroughly revised and expanded 4th edition of the original, you’ll find descriptions of more than 80 trout streams, complete with updated maps, turn-by-turn directions, a section on tackle and techniques for fishing small streams, easy-to-read hatch charts and recommended fly patterns.
Plus, through an exclusive collaboration between Trout Run Press and TroutRoutes®, the No. 1 trout-fishing app, you can simply scan the QR codes next to each stream map to get real-time information on access, regulations and more.* And the TroutRoutes app also gives you access to more than 50,000 trout streams across the United States.
A regional best seller for more than three decades, Trout Fishing in Southeast Minnesota continues to be the most thorough, informative and up-to-date guide available on fishing for trout in southeast Minnesota.
