OBTU Wisconsin Driftless Fishing Outing

This is the 3rd annual OBTU chapter fall fishing outing to the Wisconsin Driftless Area.  Lodging reservations for up to 12 people have been made at Nature Nooks Retreat in the heart of the Driftless Area near Viroqua.   Nature Nooks retreat offers fully equiped cabins a short walk from blue ribbon trout fishing on the West Fork of the Kickapoo River.   Overflow lodging options include camping at the West Fork Sports Club a short drive away, or motel rooms in Viroqua or Westby.  An abundance of excellent trout streams is nearby.   The trip is friendly to new members; those new to the area or new to fly fishing for wild trout; as well as experienced old timers who may want to explore on their own.   If you want a little guidance, we will do our best to show you a good time, put you on some trout, and help you match the hatch.

The trip is organized to keep participant costs at a minimum.    Friday & Saturday lodging at Nature Nooks, on-site group dinners  Friday and Saturday, and breakfasts on Saturday & Sunday are provided at a very modest cost (In past 2 years, costs of 2 nights lodging at Nature Nooks plus 2 dinners & 2 breakfasts have been less than $150.)   All other individual costs are “on your own” including car travel, road food, stream-side lunches, fishing licenses, fishing equipment & supplies, and other personal expenses.
