Fly Fishing guides on the Brule River (Bois Brule River) in Northern Wisconsin The Brule River State Forest located in Northern Wisconsin contains all 44 miles of the world famous fly fishing river....Bois Brule River, one of the best known fly fishing rivers east of the Mississippi. For over one hundred years, the Bois Brule River has been known as an exceptional fly fishing trout stream. The Bois Brule River contains resident brook trout, brown trout and rainbow trout. Lake run brown trout and rainbow (steelhead) trout along with Coho and Chinook salmon migrate up the Bois Brule River annually from Lake Superior for fly fishing anglers to pursue. The Bois Brule River itself has two distinct personalities. The upper river (the southern portion) flows through miles of coniferous bog and is fed by numerous springs. When the river crosses the Copper Range, it begins a fall of 328 feet in the eighteen miles to Lake Superior. Here, flashing cascades tumble over rocks and ledges and between steep river bluffs forested with aspen and balsam fir.   Brule River Fly Fishing Report Brule River (Bois Brule River) Stream Flow at Brule, WI Water Levels USGS Real-time NAMEKAGON RIVER AT LEONARDS, WI Stream Flow Real-time from USGS (Click image to view full Brule River State Forest Map PDF, opens new window)   Early Brule River opener - Last Saturday in March (March 29th 2008 - downstream of HWY 2 in the city of Brule) Wisconsin General Trout Opener - Saturday May 3rd, 2008 (upstream of HWY 2 in the city of Brule)
