Since the release of our
DVD “Circadian Rhythms”,
there have been numerous
inquiries about fishing.
People seem to want to know
more. So here are some pics
and info – enjoy.

Ted has been featured several times on John Gillespie's Wisconsin Waters and Woods show seen on the Fox Sports Midwest channel and on Dan Small's Outdoor Wisconsin.
All these fish were caught in Wisconsin – all were released…
Super “dime bright” hen
(female) steelhead (Oncorhynchus
mykiss). This is how
they look when they enter the
rivers fresh from the lake
(in this case, Lake Michigan).
|
Great color on this buck
(male) - the reel is
a centerpin reel, not
a fly reel
|
|
 Caught
in a small creek in
Wisconsin – didn’t
weigh him, but wow
was he heavy!
|
 Check
out the girth on this
buck – jumped
4 or 5 times too…
|
|
 German
brown trout – 19
pounds. During the
fall steelhead run,
these fantastic trout
are also in the rivers.
|
 Another
very large brown trout.
|
 A
big female brown caught
on New Year’s
Day. Note the water
dripping from the fish – these
fish are only out of
the water long enough
for a QUICK picture
or two – then
back in they go…
|
 A
beautiful textbook
example of a German
Brown Trout.
|
 One of my largest steelhead.
Lots of snow and
ice - water
temp 33 degrees.
|
 A “torpedo” shaped
hen – super strong!
|
 A
just-released steelhead
taking his time before
swimming back to the
deep water…
|
 Awesome
blood-red coloring
on this male.
|
 A
large December buck
steelhead – great
fish…
|
 A
gator-headed steelhead – this
guy jumped about 10
times!
|
 Waist
deep in 33 degree water…
|
 Nice
silver hen…
|
 Beautiful
brook trout (Salvelinus
fontinalis) from an
inland Wisconsin stream.
|
 Largemouth
bass (Micropterus salmoides)
from a local Wisconsin
lake.
|
 My “dear
ole” dad fishing
a spring-fed trout
stream in southwestern
Wisconsin. This is
called the “driftless” area,
where the glaciers
didn’t go through
and flatten everything
in their paths. So – the
area is full of rolling
hills…
|
 A
nice muskie (Esox masquinongy).
This fish and the northern
pike are kind of like
the great white sharks
of fresh water. Rows
of razor sharp teeth,
aggressive – top
of the food chain!!
|
 Northern
pike (Esox lucius)
- a large predatory
fish – fishing
for them is popular
in Canada and Europe
too.
|
 Releasing
a steelhead…unlike
many salmon, that die
after spawning, trout
like this go back to
the Lakes again and
may return to the rivers
in the following years.
|
 Another
spring-fed Wisconsin
trout stream. Many
a song and lyric idea
has come from these
days…
|
 An
ominous sunrise on
Lake Michigan. I watched
this leading edge of
a storm approach for
30 minutes – awesome!
