September 30th Fishing Report
Mostly sunny, with a high near 84. South wind 6 to 11 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph.Creeks are low and clear with temperatures in the mid 50s area wide.
Unseasonably warm weekend, but it should not have a negative effect on the fishing. With the sun out, it dries the bankside vegetation earlier making terrestrial fishing good all day long.
Some olives are still hatching in the late afternoon and evening. Watch for sipping rises later in the day.
We're still in a drought and the creeks are low, so use stealth when approaching!
We are nearing the end of season (no fishing starting October 16) and the creeks can get crowded with people getting their last few days of fishing in. Please be considerate and respectful of other anglers and landowners! The general rule of thumb: If there is a car at an access point, you move to the next one so you do not crowd other anglers. We have lots of water to explore here.
Please do not hop in upstream of other anglers too. We fish upstream in the Driftless, and cutting someone off or 'high holing' is not cool.
Finally, make sure you know what is legal access and what is not. There is no excuse for trespassing. Use map books and apps as a guide not a gospel, they all have errors.
Remember to thank any landowners you see. They are the reason we enjoy public access on our area waters!
EDIT. WE HAD A MAJOR TYPO. SEASON RUNS THROUGH THE 15TH OF OCTOBER AND CLOSES ON THE 16TH!
