August 9th Weather Forecast

Showers and thunderstorms likely, mainly before 2pm. Some of the storms could produce heavy rainfall. Mostly cloudy, with a steady temperature around 78. South wind around 11 mph becoming west in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 21 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New rainfall amounts between three quarters and one inch possible. Tonight potential rainfall of 1-2 inches. Sunday could be more.
It has been hot and humid for quite a few days now, and the clouds could open up over the next day or two. If heavy, we could receive a much needed flush of our creeks. If light, it will recharge and refresh some spring flows as well as drop water temperatures. These are the events that hit the ‘reset’ button for summer trout fishing in the Driftless. The mornings for a few days after can be quite good fishing!
Tricos are key early right now with the spinners hitting the water from early morning until about 9 p.m. After that, keep checking water temperatures (65 or lower is still good fishing) and tie on a terrestrial with a dropper.
