Nov 7: 2024-25 Guest Speaker #2
Article written on 2024-10-28 by: Adrian Meseberg
Our November guest speaker, Tim Waters, will share his many years of dedicated trout fishing on the Wolf River. This is incredible as the Wolf River and it’s tributaries are some of the best, unique, accessible trout waters in the state of Wisconsin. Additionally, GBTU has many members who have spent a lot of time trout fishing is wonderful river. GBTU has also held countless work projects on Wolf River Tributaries.
Tim has been a very busy man lately. He has recently published a book, “The Wolf River of Eastern Langdale County, Wisconsin” and has opened the Wolf River Fly Shop at N6530 State Hwy 55, Hollister, WI 54491! CLICK HERE for a link to the Wolf River Fly Shop website. We encourage members to stop in when fishing nearby. There will likely be copies of his new book for purchase at the meeting.
The message below if from Tim:
“As a current board member, and past president of the Wolf River chapter of Trout Unlimited, I currently coordinate water monitoring for the chapter.
I’ve been trout fishing my whole life. I first fished the Wolf around 1980, but regularly since 1993. I inherited my grandfather’s fiberglass fly rod, and slowly taught myself how to cast, then started experimenting with tying streamers. In 2010 I came up with two completely different streamers, the Zh2o and the Cougar Tease, specifically for the Wolf River.
I’ve kept track of every trout caught out of the Wolf since 1998, and they include 3,536 entries, 982 days, 3,587.5 hours (since 2000), 1,600 miles wading (since 2014), and 2,721 trout. The logs give me the opportunity to extract all sorts of interesting statistics that I use extensively in articles, presentations, and my book ‘The Wolf River of Eastern Langlade County Wisconsin’.”
This should be a dandy !!
On a side note…we are looking for donations for our silent auction and “Bushel ‘O Booze” raffle for our upcoming Annual Conservation Banquet. Please consider bringing a bottle of booze or silent auction item if you can.
