Mat Wagner heads a fishy, friendly and warm chapter gathering on February 11, 2025
Tired of winter? Contemplating a new adventure? Eager for reports and photos of a spectacular freshwater gamefish? SWTU is at your service!
Mat Wagner of the Driftelss Angler will speak at our February 11 gathering. Mat led an expedition in search of South America’s legendary golden dorado just a few weeks ago and has been chasing them for almost 8 years. Think of a fish that lives in big marshes and rivers and is about as big as a chinook salmon. They are toothier and meaner than chinook with a burnished golden color. Mat will share new stories, the latest info, and photos of the fish and fun.
Many of us are lucky to know Mat and Geri Meyer as the owners of the Driftless Angler. The shop is a superb source of gear and information. Mat and Geri are excellent guides on their home waters and some other great guides work out of the shop. They are ardent conservationists and dedicated to teaching folks the techniques and ethics of fishing the Driftless.
