Driftless Area
Rating: 4, temperature: 49 ℉, condition: Heavy Rain.
A good soaking rain yesterday has not muddied anything up at all (there is a stain on part of the Bad Axe watershed, but it is not due exclusively to the rain).Fishing remains strong despite cooler weather. Fish have been sipping olives and midges on the cool, cloudy mornings, then switching to feeding on midge larvae and other thin bodied nymphs mid day. There are many fish that are feeding directly in the riffles.
Evening brings another hatch of small mayflies and midges, and with the clouds today they may be coming off all day long.
There will be some wind coming from the northwest today.
