Mostly sunny, with a high near 82. Southwest wind 6 to 13 mph.

Creeks are low and clear with decent water temperatures for later August.  The weather is very consistent all week with nothing much going on until some forecasted clouds on Saturday.  We’re still locked into morning fishing being the best, with a few extra minutes after the sun gets higher in the sky as the grasshoppers move around.  What shuts things down right now isn’t necessarily water temperature, but more sunlight hitting the water.

A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly before 9am. Partly sunny, with a high near 82. Southwest wind around 10 mph becoming west in the afternoon.

Creeks are clear and summer low.  There are only so many ways to change a consistent report.  Tricos, terrestrials, skitter some caddis in the evenings etc.

The main point to keep in mind is overnight temperatures have been VERY friendly for summertime.  This is making morning fishing quite fun, and comfortable.  If we get some cloud cover that helps a ton too.

Overall this is a pretty solid stretch of morning, summertime trout fishing with a bit of activity the last hour or two of the day on the cooler creeks.

Sunny, with a high near 81. Calm wind becoming southwest 5 to 7 mph in the afternoon.

Creeks are clear and a bit low.

Nothing has changed.  Very pleasant morning weather, but the sun will shut things down quickly.  If you can find shade, you will find fish.

Tricos, crickets, beetles, hoppers, and Spanish bullets.

Areas of fog before 8am. Otherwise, mostly sunny, with a high near 78. Calm wind becoming north around 5 mph in the afternoon.

About a half an inch of rain hit from VIroqua north yesterday.  A nice dump of heavy rain that will stain a couple creeks up this morning, but overall clarity is very good area wide.

Temperatures are good for summertime, and will get better the next couple days as overnight temperatures will be in the mid 50s tonight and a couple more nights later this week.

The menu has not changed.  A few Tricos in the morning, followed by terrestrials with a dropper, then a mid day shut down (unless there are clouds, then things will continue to fish) and some rising fish at night (large parachute adams, or Medusa).

While the fishing is not on fire, it is still enjoyable to be out there on cooler summer mornings!

A chance of showers, with thunderstorms also possible after 1pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 78. West wind around 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

Cooler weather and some potential rain blowing in this afternoon.  Outside of the larger creeks (West Fork, Bad Axe watershed), everything is in pretty good shape temperature wise for the dog days of summer!  We are really hoping for more rain and cloud cover.

Right now, shade is key.  Fish as early as possible watching for fish sipping midges and tricos, avoid the mid day sun, and head out again late in the evening near last light.  Twitching some CDC and Elk caddis or the medusa caddis has been effective.

Otherwise, to prospect, fish a large beetle pattern or training wheel with a dark, flashy bead head below.  Finding overhanging vegetation, even if it is just a couple blades of grass, is key to finding fish.  Trout are also tucked up below undercut banks most of the day.

Sunny, with a high near 81. Calm wind becoming northwest around 6 mph in the afternoon.

A pretty solid summer week ahead with high temps barely pushing 80, and after tonight, the lows will be consistently sub 60.

It is still summer, so please keep in mind that fishing mid day is not recommended.  We are still getting some creeks with water temperatures higher than 65 which means very poor fishing.  Keep using that thermometer!

It’s terrestrial time.  While there are still a few tricos in the morning, the main fishing is with a larger beetle or small grasshopper with a dropper below.  Nothing wrong fishing a training wheel and a brush hog all day long!

Shade is key.  If you fish when and where the sun is off the water, you will catch more fish.

Showers and possibly a thunderstorm before 2pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly between 2pm and 5pm. High near 77. Calm wind becoming east 5 to 7 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms

The forecast says it all.  Cooler and clouds/drizzle through the weekend.  If this weather holds, fishing will be summer good!

Tricos early (if it isn’t too humid or drizzle) then hopper/dropper through the day.  With the clouds, fish a small scud or leech too!  This is about as good as you can get for a summer morning trout fishing forecast.  We’re keeping our fingers crossed that the clouds stick around.

Patchy fog before 9am. Otherwise, partly sunny, with a high near 85. Calm wind.

Creeks are clear and a bit low with temperatures in the high 50s to mid 60s.  Only the larger creeks start the day over 65 degrees.

The week ahead cools down slightly, and some cloud cover forecasted mid week.  All in all, a pretty solid summer trout fishing forecast!  Remember that it is still summertime.  The best fishing is in the mornings when the water temperatures are the coolest, and usually shuts down mid day (you can extend the day if clouds stay overhead and water temperatures do not climb too much).

Trico spinners are present on many creeks in the mornings, then switching to the summertime staple of a grasshopper with a bead head below (think thin bodied bugs like a zebra or P&O).

Sunny, with a high near 81. Northwest wind 3 to 6 mph.

Very pleasant weekend ahead.  Followed by a cloudy, drizzly and cooler week next week!  Great summer conditions.

Fishing is still pretty much limited to the mornings right now.  While water temperatures on many creeks are in good shape, the sunlight slows things down a bit mid day.

Watch for trico spinners in the mornings, then fish a hopper with a dropper during the rest of the day.  If the clouds stay overhead, things can fish well all day long!
