Photos by Troutnut from the East Fork of the Iron River, the Bois Brule River, and Schacte Creek in Wisconsin

Two dear make tracks across a frozen trout stream in the deep snows of early February not far from Lake Superior. I had hoped to sample nymphs in the stream (which later turned out to be quite fertile) but it wasn't open. From the East Fork of the Iron River in Wisconsin. Here's another of my very frigid early nymph sampling sites. From the Bois Brule River in Wisconsin. This tiny spring creek is extremely fertile, and I sampled many interesting insects I didn't find anywhere else. The water was completely open even though other nearby spring creeks were frozen over and the snow was three feet deep. From Schacte Creek in Wisconsin. I had hoped to sample some nymphs here, but I didn't bring an ice auger. From the Bois Brule River in Wisconsin.
