2019 Brule River - Midwest Bangers Photos

 New House on the Box Car hole this year.  Weather was better than last year but water was still high. Ralph was the only one who caught a Steelhead and he did it swinging.

2018 Brule River - Midwest Bangers

This year the constant rain and 40 mile per hour wind gusts on the big lake limited fishing.  We still had great Brisket and pulled Pork sandwiches.  Caught up on our Netflix and watched the water rise a foot overnight.

We were able to capture a picture of what Ralph carries in his pocket every day.

2015 1st Annual Banger Steelhead Trip

The first annual Banger Steelhead trip was a great success. We had beautiful weather, great accommodations next to a great river and we hooked into some large steelhead . This trip saw Mikey land the largest bow measuring 30 inches using his switch rod and a streamer. Lon was able to fish for two days and netted 3 steelhead . He had a very good guide. He caught all these bows on size 12 Prince nymphs. All the Bangers either landed or lost a few fish. 

We had the advantage of being first on the river with our house being remotely located and right on the river. We were out the door at 6 a.m. every morning in the dark to claim the best runs and holes in our section of river. We did however gain a bad reputation for leaving a fresh pile of poop on the rivers pathways. Thanks Eric and Lon! As you can see in the second to  last photo, this early morning fishing took a toll on the Bangers
