Driftless Area

Rating: 3, temperature: 82 ℉, condition: Heavy Rain.

Still good summer fishing.  Mostly cloudy today which should extend the fishing day.  Normally in the summer fishing is best during the first 3-4 and last 3-4 hours of the day.  A cooler day with clouds can change that.
  Sporadic hatches of olives early as well as the Trico spinner fall have fish looking up to eat.  Otherwise a well drifted small (16-20) nymph or scud will do the trick.
  This is terrestrial time as well.  Fish will aggressively hit a hopper, cricket, ant or beetle.
