Sunny, with a high near 58. North wind 5 to 7 mph.
Creeks are low and clear with temperatures right around 50 degrees.
The cold nights have things starting a bit later in the day. There is no need to get up really early to fish right now.
We’re starting the day throwing nymphs below a hippie stomper or training wheel. It isn’t crazy action on the surface early, but there will be a few fish eating the foam indicator fly.
After mid day some fish will start rising to caddis (black and a few tan), but lately the action has been best subsurface. The best fishing of the day has been the last few hours of light as the sun’s angle dips a bit and the creeks finally get a bit of shade.

A chance of sprinkles before noon, then a chance of sprinkles after 2pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 55. East wind 5 to 9 mph becoming north in the afternoon.
Creeks are low and clear with temperatures in the low to mid 50s. Despite some recent drizzle the past week water levels are quite low and the fish are very spooky when the sun is shining on the water. The best fishing is early and late and when clouds are overhead.
Caddis, midges, and even a few late olives are hatching along with some craneflies. Fish are rising in the later afternoon (again, more risers in the shade) through the evening.
With the temperatures warming up, watch for more terrestrial action to happen through the week. Ants, and beetles are out and about and fish can key in on them.
Nymphing has been the most productive lately with scuds, brush hogs, purple drank, and hot spot PTs leading the pack.

Sunny, with a high near 56. Northwest wind 7 to 13 mph, with gusts as high as 21 mph.
Creeks are clear to stained with temperatures in the low 50s.
The nights are still chilly enough that you are able to sleep in an extra hour or so and won’t miss much of anything. Fish overall seem to get moving around 9. The sun has brought back the caddis hatches in the later morning and through the evening. They haven’t been super thick, but fish are feeding on them as well as craneflies during the day.
Subsurface fishing has been great lately with fish feeding on everything from perdigons to the pork chop express. Just keep changing up and the fish will let you know what they want!
We are still fishing our nymphs under a hippie stomper or Cheeto beetle. These buoyant and high visibility patterns will get a few fish eating them throughout the day.
When the sun is off the water, do not hesitate to throw a leech or streamer. Fish are in a good mood when there is shade and will chase some bigger bugs this time of season.

Increasing clouds, with a high near 57. Northwest wind 5 to 13 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph.
Creeks are clear to stained. The main branch of the Timber Coulee and the West Fork continue to show some heavy staining. Everything else is in excellent shape. Even the heavily stained waters had about 6 inches of visibility yesterday so they are still fishable.
Search for that slightly stained water! Trout are much happier when there are clouds in the sky and the water has a bit of color!
The worms are out in force today after the rain, do not be afraid to fish worm patterns this morning.
Caddis and craneflies are the top items on the menu on the surface, watch for splashy rises and you know fish are feeding on them.
Subsurface fishing has been good on pretty much everything, with fish favoring scuds, caddis larvae, and pink squirrels (thicker bodied patterns).
On the creeks with the heavy stain, fish a leech, worm farm, or larger scud.

Increasing clouds, with a high near 59. Calm wind becoming northwest 5 to 8 mph in the morning.
Creeks are clear to slightly stained with temperatures in the low to mid 50s. The nights have been quite cold (almost frosting) lately and the water temperatures take a pretty big dip overnight. It takes a bit of time for things to get moving especially if it isn’t super sunny out. Consider it a gift from mother nature that you can sleep in an extra hour!
Caddis and craneflies are on the menu right now. If fish aren’t rising, we are fishing the standby hippie stomper with a bead head below it. Sticking to thicker bodied patterns isn’t a bad idea.

Partly sunny, with a high near 58. Northwest wind around 15 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph.
The rains that hit a couple of days ago are through the system for the most part. Keep in mind that while things were muddy north of the shop yesterday, sough of the shop was clear and fishing well.
Creeks are clear to stained with temperatures in the low 50s.
Caddis and craneflies are the main menu items still. Fish are looking up from around mid day through the evening. If they aren’t rising, a hippie stomper or other attractor dry (don’t forget the bead head tied underneath!) will get fish to eat on the surface.
Subsurface fishing has been great lately, especially after the recent rains. Scuds, euro squirrels, hot spot PTs and leeches are all doing very well.

Showers and thunderstorms likely before 1pm, then showers and possibly a thunderstorm between 1pm and 5pm, then showers and thunderstorms likely after 5pm. Temperature rising to near 65 by 11am, then falling to around 59 during the remainder of the day. Light and variable wind becoming north 8 to 13 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 21 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
The rains hit heavier north of us (Timber Coulee and tributaries are blown as of this morning, but dropping and clearing quickly). In town and south we only received about 3/4 of an inch which left the creeks clear to slightly stained.
This was much needed rain and letting things clear out and drop will make things even better going forward. It might take a bit of windshield time, but there is fishable water out there even after the rains!

Mostly sunny, with a high near 84. Breezy, with a southwest wind 9 to 14 mph increasing to 16 to 21 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 34 mph.
Today is opening day of regular fishing season. Keep in mind that it can be very crowded out there this weekend.

Creeks are very low and clear. Fish will be spooky until we get some cloud cover or rains bring the water levels up a bit.
We continue to see caddis and craneflies hatching and fish responding to them on the surface. When the sun is off the water we are getting fish rising to midges and generic mayflies.
Subsurface fishing has been most effective on thin bodied bugs due to the clear water. If the sky clouds up a bit, then fish will also be looking for caddis larvae and scuds.

• If you see a car at an access point, drive to the next one. There is no need for multiple cars at access points, we have enough water to spread out on.
• Do not ‘high hole’ another angler. Fishing upstream is what we do in the Driftless. Never walk upstream of another angler and start fishing (unless you check in with that angler and get permission first),
• When you park, do not block gates, driveways, or field access roads with your vehicle.
• Finally, do not trespass on private property! Make sure you are 100% positive you are on public property if you are on the bank. The various apps and map books are not 100% accurate! Make sure you do your homework, check in with the landowner, or just keep your feet wet whenever possible! “

Mostly cloudy, with a high near 64. Northeast wind around 8 mph.
Creeks are very low and clear. Expect spooky fish if the clouds break up Temperatures are sitting right around 50 degrees.
Caddis and mayflies are hatching daily and fish are rising in the late morning through the afternoon. The mix of clouds and sun throughout the day are keeping the hatches from exploding as we need some more consistent weather.
Subsurface action has been great lately especially on thinner bodied bugs. When we get some rain, or the clouds are overhead, fish will eat thicker patterns too.
