Our destination is the Border Brule River in Northern Wisconsin with 50-year veteran of the industry, Bill Sherer, owner of We Tie It Fly Shop in Boulder Junction, Wisconsin.  Only 45 miles from Lake Superior, the Border Brule offers outstanding wild brook and brown trout fly fishing, abundant public access, and easy wading in relative solitude.   

Bill is a recognized authority on trout and musky fly fishing and holds a World Line Class Record for Muskie, Walleye, and several saltwater species.  He’s a former state council chairman of Trout Unlimited Wisconsin and an internationally acclaimed fly designer with flies sold in shops around the globe.  Today Bill shares stories of one-eyed muskies, 30-inch brown trout, tips on wet fly fishing and coexisting with bears.  Stick around to the end to hear why one old-timer carries pea gravel in a can of planters’ peanuts plus and sage advice on fishing slow.
