Driftless Area
Rating: 3, temperature: 62 ℉, condition: Windy.
UPDATE: Some rain storms late last night were locally heavy. There is some cloudy water out there, but fishable.Cooler with a bit of drizzle this morning. Cloud will be in all day!
Fishing has been a ton of fun on the surface with fish seeing bug soup. We have tan caddis, a few black caddis, sulphur colored mayflies, craneflies, midges, and yellow sallies showing up on the surface. Add to this beetles and ants, and you have a huge menu that trout can choose from.
Subsurface is equally crazy. Scuds, leeches, soft hackles, and thicker bodied patterns (hare's ear/prince nymph types) are catching fish.
Creeks are clear to slightly stained as the heavy rains missed us dropping only about an inch in the past 24 hours.
