Driftless Area

Rating: 4, temperature: 76 ℉, condition: Heavy Rain.

 Currently raining, but it should not be anything that ruins the water for today.
  Fishing has been a ton of fun with a few tricos still doing their spinner fall in the mornings.  During the day we are switching to terrestrials and droppers fishing the deeper pools, undercut banks, and grassy riffles.
  We are slated to get a bit of rain today and tonight and as things start to get temporarily cloudy, subsurface fishing will become more important.  Scuds, leeches, San Juan worms in the cloudiest water, then dark and flashy bead heads in the slightly stained water, finally going back to midge larvae and micro mayfly nymphs in the clear water.
  Waters are clear to stained today and water temperatures are cold enough that we have been letting the streams warm up a bit before heading out on trips lately!
