Driftless Area

Rating: 2, temperature: 20 ℉, condition: Flurries.

 The weather is starting to turn for the better.  Cold this morning, but sunny.  Turning to clouds in the p.m.  It will get warmer every day through the weekend when temps will hit the mid to high 30s.
  Fishing has been good with flows normal, water clear, and water temps in the high 30s to low 40s.  
  The best fishing right now is subsurface on heavy scuds, midge larvae and leeches.  Hatches are sparse, but will get better as the temps climb.
  There has been some very slow snowmelt, and even with warmer days ahead, nights are freezing and locking in runoff.
