Adventure Day Trip: Belle Creek
Driftless Region Welch, MN
Season: January – October (winter months are weather dependent)

Our Belle Creek adventure day trip near Welch is one of those true gems. This is the beginning of the Driftless Region, and this area surrounds you with that true sense of Minnesota trout country. Belle Creek is classic trout water with fantastic habitat, as well as a special regulation stream. This creates a perfect blend and combination for picturesque backdrops and some bigger fish. This is strictly a catch and release stream! Your going to stay busy here whether you choose to go at it with traditional fly fishing gear or conventional spinning gear. This stream is open for the winter catch and release season, that means it is open January 1st every year. That gives those of us with a sense of adventure and winter cabin fever a chance at trout fishing close to home almost 10 months of the year!

Some remoteness of this location relieves fishing pressure, so spending an entire day here and not seeing another fisherman is not that uncommon. We have proven success on this water with youth and novice fisherman; we specialize in just this sort of thing on all our trips! Let Mahigan Outdoors take you into this beautiful, off the beaten path place, and expose you to what true trout habitat and special regulations can provide here in Minnesota.

At just 55 minutes from downtown Saint Paul, this becomes an easy day trip getting yourself on true classic trout water. Mahigan Outdoors will arrange everything with you, meeting location and transportation there, gear if needed, and of course great fishing. Our Belle Creek adventure is nearly perfectly made for any level trout fisherman. Consider this the perfect blend between bigger fish and numbers fishing!

Adventure Day or Weekend Trip: “Mini Montana”
Driftless Region Rushford MN
Season: January – October (winter months are weather dependent)

If you have a true sense of adventure, and are looking for a scenic Minnesota trout fishing location this is for you. Rush Creek in southeast MN is a stream we have fished 30+ years and where we learned to trout fish. Nearly every corner, every run, and every hole is etched into our minds. This trip requires some hiking into the valley where the creek is located. You don’t need to be an athlete to make this trip but you will work a bit and need a daypack with some gear. The hike is more than worth it as you are surrounded with the picturesque bluff country of the region, spring flowers in bloom, as well as numerous wildlife. The hike alone is a photographers dream. Rush Creek is known for producing numbers of fish, and many sizable ones as well. Action stays frantic most of the season and the backdrop is unrivaled. We call this place “Mini Montana” for a reason. It is easy to forget you are in Minnesota in this place!

Our knowledge of the creek and how to fish it is unparalleled. The remoteness of this location leaves very light fishing pressure, and spending an entire day here and not seeing another fisherman is normal. It also makes for very good odds of catching 20 to 30 fish a day! We have proven success on this water with youth and novice fisherman; we specialize in just this sort of thing! Let Mahigan Outdoors take you into one of the most beautiful places in the upper Midwest and expose you to some of the very best stream trout fishing that can be had anywhere in the region.

At 2 hours from downtown Saint Paul, you can experience this unique trip all in a single day! Mahigan Outdoors will arrange everything, from a meeting location or transportation there, to a full days plan for hiking, picture taking, and of course fishing. Our “Mini Montana” adventure is nearly tailor made for the whole family. This is a very special trip, and a true adventure. We are certain that you will come away from this trip amazed! If you are interested in lodging, or turning this into a full weekend trip, let us know. We can customize your trip and take care of all the details for you!
