Driftless Area
Rating: 3, temperature: 51 ℉, condition: Heavy Rain.
Cold and windy this morning, It will warm up by this afternoon, but the wind will stick around.Fishing has been solid with a few streams seeing some nice olive hatches. Most of the activity is subsurface still, with scuds, hare's ears, and leeches topping the list.
Streams are running in the low to mid 40s temperature wise, and are clear to murky. A good rule of thumb is the smaller the stream, the clearer the water. Everything continues to drop and clear, just in time for the weather to turn around and get warmer. If we get a few sunny days, we will start looking for the caddis hatch to start.
