August 28th Fishing Report
Sunny, with a high near 77. Calm wind becoming northeast around 5 mph in the afternoon.
The cool weather continues through the next week! As the colder weather settles into the Driftless, the trout are starting to respond a bit more. Creeks are clear and a bit low with temperatures in the mid to high 50s (only a couple of larger creeks are in the low 60s still).
We are seeing a smattering of tricos in the morning getting fish to rise. If you do not encounter risers early, then switch to nymphs and scuds! Once the dew dries off the grass it is time to switch to hoppers and other terrestrials. Putting a small bead head below and fishing the riffles and undercut banks is effective right now.
. We have had some reports in the afternoons of some olives (small mayflies) hatching as well. While we will not declare a full blown hatch, we are starting to see some risers later in the day.
