Driftless Area

Rating: 3, temperature: 79 ℉, condition: Heavy Rain.

Solid fishing and great weather are still here.  Temperatures are not supposed to hit 80 for the rest of the week.  This has been an amazing late July.
  Tricos are coming back after the cold snap last weekend.  Look for spinner falls in the mornings.
  During the day ants, beetles, and hoppers are catching fish, but subsurface has become more and more important lately.  Scuds, pheasant tails, and midge larvae are tops right now.
  There are a few streams that are getting olives and caddis, and even a few errant yellow sallies have re-appeared lately.
