Driftless Area

Rating: 4, temperature: 82 ℉, condition: Heavy Rain.

UPDATE 12:45---  No rain and it is sunny outside.  So far everything is clear to stained still and beetles and hoppers are kicking butt again today!
 
So far the rains have only been drizzle.  The forecast is for a bit more today and into tonight, but so far we are not worried about the creeks being unfishable through the weekend.  Keep an eye on this report for updates today.
  Creeks are clear to stained now with great water temps in the mid 50s to mid 60s.
  We are getting tricos in the mornings, and fishing terrestrials all day long.  Beetles seem to be the best, followed by hoppers and ants.  If the fish are rolling on the fly or refusing it, try sinking your terrestrial.
  Subsurface patterns that are best right now are Frenchies, pink squirrels, scuds, and thin bodied nymphs.
  Don't neglect leeches and streamers especially if the creek has a stain on it or clouds stay in the sky.  There have been some larger fish eating lately!
