Driftless Area
Rating: 4, temperature: 70 ℉, condition: Heavy Rain.
If we could get rid of this wind, fishing would be excellent!Windy again today, but fishing is still very strong. Water area wide is clear to stained and the temp is in the mid to high 50s.
Fish are feeding in the riffles and shin deep runs on caddis, craneflies and midges. They are also keying in on mayflies and small terrestrials (ants!) in the areas sheltered from the wind gusts.
Sub surface leech patterns, scuds, and tiny bead head nymphs are doing very well.
