August 27th Fishing Report

A slight chance of showers between 2pm and 4pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 4pm. Patchy fog before 8am. Otherwise, mostly sunny, with a high near 73. Light southwest wind increasing to 5 to 10 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 30%.
We have almost a week of continued cooler weather ahead, even through the long weekend. Creeks are clear and a bit low, with temperatures in the higher 50s to low 60s. This is a preview of fall in the Driftless!
. While tricos are still around in the mornings, they are showing up later and seemingly less heavy due to the cooler temperatures. The fun starts later in the morning when the hopper bite turns on! Get your hoppers, beetles and ants as close to the bank as possible to tempt trout out from the undercut banks.
. Nymphing is the most productive way to fish right now with fish eating in the riffles and runs dumping into the undercut banks.
