Brule River State Forest is a beautiful place to visit. My trip coincided with the end of the Hex hatch on the Brule river. Fishing in the dark, in a new place can be a bit tricky, even with a headlamp. Caught more tree branches than fish. Landing nothing bigger than a 13" brown. Spent a few more days hiking, wading and fishing the Brule. Lots of little fish...scenery was awesome, scouted a few good steelhead spots for a later return and what few decent fish I got to show themselves was enough to keep me searching. Stayed at Copper Range campground which was nice but close quarters and had a canoe access down a path. Also stayed at the Brule river motel...nice place with very nice people. Kro bar was a short walk down the street. I will be back for some steelhead.
