LWTU Outings

Time to go fishin’! LWTU outings provide the opportunity to sample some great small stream fishing in Wisconsin (and potentially Colorado waters too as part of periodic Exchange Outings with the West Denver Chapter of TU).

As always, newcomers are welcome, and we will pair you up with a more experienced angler upon request to provide guidance on fishing locations, tactics and fly selection.

The Chapter also typically conducts conservation activities during our outings, usually building or repairing stiles to provide stream access to public waters or private land where the owner has granted a fishing easement.

Please contact the Outings Coordinator at [email protected] if you plan to attend any of the outings. Space may be limited, and an accurate headcount is essential for lodging and meal arrangements. Group dinners will be arranged for most evenings during the outings, on a pay-as-you-go basis.

Early Spring Outing (Westby/Viroqua, WI area, Thursday April 23 through Sunday April 26, 2026)

The Lee Wulff Chapter early spring fishing outing will be held in the Westby/Viroqua area from Thursday April 23 through Sunday April 26. Centrally located in the Wisconsin Driftless area, the area around Viroqua has many easily accessible trout streams including the West Fork of the Kickapoo River, Timber Coulee and Coon Creek, the Bad Axe River system and countless tributary streams.

New chapter members and less experienced anglers are encouraged to attend! If you don’t know the area, or need some guidance on techniques and tactics to catch the wily trout of the Driftless region, we can pair you up with a more experienced chapter member to assist you and/or share your frustration...

Group accommodations have been arranged at Logan Mill Lodge in Westby, a group-friendly space, well-suited for all genders and ages, consisting of 10 bedrooms divided among four suites, each with kitchen facilities and a family room area. The total cost of accommodations will be divided among anglers staying at the Lodge. Assuming full occupancy of all the bedrooms, the cost is estimated at $360 per angler for the three nights of accommodations in single bedrooms. Payment for accommodations will be due a few weeks in advance of the trip.

Group dinners will be arranged for Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, and are open to all chapter members regardless of whether they are staying at the Lodge or in other accommodations (area motels or campsites).

Space at Logan Mill Lodge is available on a first come/first served basis. This outing usually fills up quickly, so reserve your spot today! For additional information or to reserve a spot at the Lodge, contact the Chapter Outings Coordinator at [email protected]. If you want to join the group but do not plan to stay at the Lodge, please contact the Outings Coordinator to be included in group meals and outing-related communications.
