This River

Ed Chaplinski is a retired dairy farmer from Gilman, Wisconsin.  His father first brought him to the Brule to go fishing 60 years ago.  Now that role is reversed, and he’s bringing his children and grandchildren. He occasionally teaches fly fishing at the Gilman School with the help of some of his grandchildren. He’s a member of the Brule River Sportsmen’s Club and has been on the Board of Directors since 2019.
