Driftless Area

Rating: 3, temperature: 56 ℉, condition: Dust.

Low wind and a chance of showers today.  The olive hatch has been really solid in the afternoon and evening.  Size 16 and 18 olives are getting fish in the runs below riffles rising on most streams.
  In the mornings scuds, pheasant tail type nymphs and blue winged olive nymphs have been effective.
  Waters are clear and temps are in the low 40s to high 40s.
  Black caddis have been spotty as we have not had consistently sunny weather.  Mid-week this week could be great caddis weather!
