Partly sunny, with a high near 73. Northeast wind 7 to 14 mph.
Creeks are still a bit low and very clear right now. Temperatures are in the higher 50s area wide.
We are seeing caddis daily with pods of rising fish spread throughout the area pretty much all day long.
Subsurface fishing has been good on thicker bodied patterns in the runs and pools, and thin bodied nymphs fished right in the riffles.
When the sun is off the water, streamers and leeches are working well too.

Mostly sunny, with a high near 65. Northeast wind 6 to 9 mph.
Creeks are clear and still a bit low with temperatures in the low 50s.
Caddis are the main hatch right now with some olive mayflies leftover from earlier this spring. Watch for the heavier hatches in the afternoons.
Subsurface fishing is good on pretty much anything as long as it has just a bit of sparkle in it.
Remeber, our fly fishing show/Drive in Theater film fest is coming up soon! June 6th!

Fishing conditions remain strong, with some helpful rain overnight. We have fairly pleasant and stable weather through the weekend in the forecast as well! Streams have been clear to medium stain in the area, with nearly all water in fishable condition. On the surface, black and tan caddis patterns have been working well, as have blue winged olives and purple parachutes. A few craneflies have been seen already, so keep your eyes peeled for those as well. Under the surface, nymph and streamer fishing has been excellent too. Olive bodied nymphs such as Thread Frenchies and the Olive Drank have been great, along with the Pink Squirrel, Purple Drank, and various worm patterns. Black and olive streamer patterns continue to work well and make for an exciting way to fish – if you haven’t tried it, you should! Overall, excellent conditions and a great time to be here in the Driftless!

The storms last night missed us for the most part. Only .5-1inches area-wide. The streams are all in good condition (still need more rain), with some mild staining on the larger water. Keep an eye on the weather for the next couple of days. We are starting to see tan caddis, and a handful of olives. Fish are still pretty happy subsurface, taking mid profile nymphs, and some leeches and streamers in the deeper water.

A 50 percent chance of showers. Cloudy, with a steady temperature around 51. East wind around 6 mph. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.
Creeks are in great shape, clear to slightly stained with temperatures right around 50 degrees.
We have had stable weather with clouds overhead and a bit of sun peeking out every once in a while. The cloud cover has helped with spooky fish in our low and clear creeks!
We’re still doing well fishing blue winged olive mayflies as they continue to hatch in the afternoon. On warmer and sunnier days we are still seeing black caddis and expect to see tan caddis any day now as well.
Subsurface fishing has been great on leeches and scuds early in the deeper pools and pockets, then switching to thin bodied, flashy nymphs in the riffles in the afternoons and evenings.

A chance of showers and thunderstorms before 9am, then a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms after 4pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 68. Southeast wind around 6 mph becoming southwest in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
. Creeks are clear to slightly stained. The recent rains have not muddied anything up significantly except a a section or two of creeks near unplanted farm fields. Fish are very happy right now with the water temperatures hovering right around 50 degrees. The cloud cover and olive hatch will last the rest of the week with a few caddis popping off too (mostly blacks, but we have seen a tan or two recently)
. Subsurface fishing has been solid on scuds, bushier nymphs, and micro streamers.

Showers likely before 9am. Mostly cloudy, then gradually becoming sunny, with a high near 70. Southeast wind 8 to 11 mph becoming west in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 22 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.
. Creeks are in GREAT shape right now. We received another 1/2 inch of light, soaking rains last night which will do little to nothing in terms of muddying up the creeks. Most of the moisture has soaked right into the ground leaving creeks clear to slightly stained. Water temperatures are in the higher 40s to 50. We are still seeing some blue winged olives, but on a sunnier and warmer day like today we expect to see black caddis and potentially some tan caddis.
. Subsurface fishing has been solid on pretty much everything! Some flash on your flies seems to help, but fishing deeper runs in the mornings, then moving up to the riffles mid day and into the afternoon is successful.
The streamer and leech game has really turned on when the water temperatures climb over 50 degrees.

Cloudy, then gradually becoming mostly sunny, with a high near 52. Breezy, with a west wind 10 to 18 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph.
Yesterday we got a good soaking rain of about an inch and a half area wide. Some creeks will show a bit of stain today, but rain was not too heavy to make things unfishable.
The week ahead is looking cloudy and with spotty rains. Excellent news for our drought situation!
Fish are happy and feeding well subsurface on scuds, flashy nymphs, and leeches and streamers. On the surface the olive hatch is still around, but subsiding. The caddis hatches are getting stronger.

Closed Sunday April 20th

A chance of showers and thunderstorms between 10am and 4pm, then a chance of showers after 4pm. Cloudy, with a high near 59. East wind 7 to 11 mph becoming northwest in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 21 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%.
Creeks are clear to stained. Rains last night were half an inch to an inch total and should not be enough to muddy things up. Even this morning we have clear creeks and fishable water over most of the area. These were much needed rains and the ground soaked most of it up.
We are still seeing olives daily, and black caddis on the sunnier days.
The weekend ahead will be partly cloudy today, sunny on Saturday, then cloudy again on Sunday.
