Driftless Area

Rating: 3, temperature: 71 ℉, condition: Heavy Rain.

All but the largest streams are stained to clear.  Water temperatures are in the mid 50s to low 60s.  Flows are high and fish are very happy.
  Fishing fuzzy, thick bodied subsurface flies, scuds and midge larvae has been very effective.  Leeches and streamers are catching their fair share of fish too.
  On the surface, the most successful patterns have been terrestrials and smaller foam attractor patterns.
