Note by Jill
Wegner
:  Everyone in Wisconsin knows the Pass Lake.  There are several
books that touch upon the subject, but the book written by Ross A. Mueller
entitled: "Upper Midwest Flies That Catch Trout and How to Fish Them"
reads...  "The original Pass Lake is a Wisconsin fly designed
by a Clintonville, Wisconsin, minister in 1938.  It can by tied as a
dry, wet or streamer."



 



Ross A. Mueller
also recently had an article about fishing the driftless areas of SW Wisconsin,
SE Minnesota and NE Iowa in one of the fly fishing magazines.



 



I have tied
many myself.
