Driftless Area
Rating: 3, temperature: 86 ℉, condition: Dust.
UPDATE 1:30 Rain shut off around 11:30. The morning guide trips were successful and we did not see any major runoff happening (the ground is very dry and soaking up a lot of the rain). Dry so far and nothing unfishable except for some murky larger creeks.Update 9:30--- rain is heavy on and off. Watch for brief lightning and watch for some creeks to muddy up briefly.
Good soaking rain this morning! This will help refresh some springs and keep water temps cool. Expect some slight stain on larger creeks. If it rains heavily we will update you.
Leeches, scuds, and your normal pheasant tail style nymphs will work in this weather.
The terrestrial bite will be slower until the rains pass.
watch for olives hatching this afternoon and evening.
