The Spirit Streams Video Experience: Reloaded

Welcome to the Driftless Area, the true spring creek paradise! Where fly fishing and God intersect.


This video marks the commencement of an entirely new level of experience that Spirit Streams will take you along into the Driftless Area. It represents the exclusive collaboration between Spirit Streams and New Leaf Media to bring this unique video perspective that will showcase the Spirit Streams Experience in an entirely new light.


This first installment was filmed on a single day; March 8, 2021 in the surrounding Coon Valley, WI area. All brown trout caught were wild and pure, produced from the pristine and unique spring creek ecosystem that is found prolifically throughout the Driftless Area. Check out our Dritless Area page to get a feeling for why the Driftless Area provides you with a very unique and intimate experience that you really can’t replicate or find elsewhere. It’s an environment that positions you to become closer to not just yourself but everything else around you, and most importantly God. This is the first of many upcoming Spirit Streams-New Leaf Media new level video installments that will capture the Spirit Streams story that is the Driftless Area, Fly Fishing, and God; get ready to experience it like never before! Subscribe to our blog and YouTube channel today so you won’t miss an installment; the next one will drop in July 2021.

I observed the area and could see a faint ripple coming out of the foam. I still had the emerger on and made a cast to the area of the rise and was greeted by a resounding battle and eventually landed a beautiful 15” brown which I affectionately labeled the blue cheek fatty – it was quite a trout. My mind wandered....If they are that big on the top what lies in the depths of that blockage?....

A notable thrill was the sudden, stout strike and subsequent battle of a truly beautiful 18 inch Brown. That beauty was unexpected but very much appreciated. A new season is beginning and with the amount of trout spotted and caught it looks very bright!

I found the trout today schooled up in pools and very eager to take scuds and nymphs. There were all age classes, nice egg laden females along with several large nicely colored fall run males brought to the net. The bite was consistent.
