July 13th Fishing Report
Sunny, with a high near 82. Light southeast wind becoming south 5 to 9 mph in the morning.This is the summer weather you wait for! Perfect conditions for some July trout fishing in the Driftless. Recent cooler temperatures and rains have water temperatures right where they need to be for happy fish!
There is quite a mix of bugs out there, mostly small to tiny (no tricos yet.....) with fish rising in the mornings and evenings. Try fishing a midge pattern or greased lightning to get risers to eat, or throw an ant in front of them.
Through the day the go-to rig is still a hopper/dropper. Training wheels, beetles, hippie stompers etc being used as edible indicators with food or purple drink below.
Mousing is picking up again too with the cooler nights bringing some nice fish out to play!
