Driftless Area

Rating: 4, temperature: 56 ℉, condition: Windy.

Another cloudy, drizzly day!  Flies are hatching all day long and fish are rising sporadically to them.  The terrestrial bite is still on strong, and fish are eating scuds and tiny nymphs sub surface.  Fall fishing at its finest.
  Watch for rising fish as they are taking olives and midges as emergers or adults.  This is happening all day as long as the cloud cover stays solid.
  Hopper fishing has been great as the last few days were very windy.
  Scuds are much more active during cloudy weather, and we have had a string of cloudy days.  Scud fishing has been hot!
