Waters are clear this morning with no rain in the Viroqua area last night. We are supposed to see light rain today and/or a wintry mix. We will keep you updated on stream conditions throughout the day.
Fishing has been good lately despite water temperatures still in the high 30s to low 40s. Midges are hatching sporadically in the afternoons, and subsurface fishing remains strong on scuds, leeches, squirrels, and thicker bodied flies fished deep.
There is not a lot of snow left on the banks, with many meadows free of snow along the creeks!
