Driftless Area

Rating: 3, temperature: 88 ℉, condition: Light Flurries.

Another sunny and hot day today.  Fish will be much more active when the sun is off the water either early and late in the day, or  underneath tree cover.
  Otherwise fish will be underneath the banks or tight to the bottom getting out of the sun.
  There are a few hatches of olives in the mornings, and we have started to see tricos in good numbers in the mornings as well.  Once the sun is on the water fishing switches to terrestrials and nymphs.
  Do not overlook leeches as some water is still stained.  We fished them this morning and had very good success!
