Sunny, with a high near 83. West wind 5 to 9 mph.
Creeks are clear to stained with decent temperatures. Things are about to get pretty dang good again as we see air temperatures dropping next week with some overnight lows in the high 40s! This can really get trout fishing in the Driftless back on track and not limited to the morning fishing only we have had the past few weeks.
Watch for trico spinners in the morning, then fish terrestrials with a dropper until mid day. Take a nap, then get out there again in the evening.

A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly between 11am and 1pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 89. West wind 7 to 11 mph.
Hot again today. But it gets back to normal tomorrow.
We still do not recommend fishing when it is this hot. While you can still find trout friendly temperatures (please use your thermometer and avoid anything over 65), it is just taxing to be out there as an angler.

A chance of sprinkles after 4pm. Mostly sunny, with a high near 87. Southeast wind 3 to 6 mph.
Hot and sunny today and through Monday. Please restrict your fishing to sunup to about 10-11 in the morning. Things will slow down as the water temperatures climb after the overnight cooling and it can stress both trout and anglers. Probably not the best 2 or 3 days to be out there.
Remember to use your thermometer and make sure you aren’t fishing water over 65 degrees.

Mostly sunny, with a high near 79. South wind 5 to 9 mph.
The main thing to know is that the weekend is going to be unbearably hot again. With heat index pushing 100 degrees. Not only is this not safe for anglers, but the trout can be affected too.
If you are fishing Saturday and Sunday, please limit your time on the water to super early in the morning and stop fishing around 10 or 11.
Please do not stress trout by fishing in water over 65 degrees.
It looks like most of next week will be very hot as well.

Sunny, with a high near 76. Light southeast wind.
Wow, what a great week of morning temperatures we have had. Overnight temps are dropping into the 50s and it is more than pleasant out there until about 11. The fishing has been good (for summertime!) early until about 10 or 11, then things shut down unless we have some serious cloud cover.
Tricos early, then hoppers, ants and beetles with a dropper the rest of the morning.
In the evenings, the last couple of hours of the day can be solid on hopper dropper and caddis patterns too.
Heads up, the weekend is going to be HOT. Looking at air temps near 90 through Monday

Mostly sunny, with a high near 75. East wind 3 to 7 mph.

Creeks are clear and a bit low with temperatures in the low 60s. For later August, things are actually quite nice! It is still summertime, so remember fishing is best early from sunup to about 10 (watch for tricos spinner falls early), then take a mid day break. Fishing can be good again the last 3 hours of the day.

Outside of the trico spinners, fishing is best on hoppers or beetles with a dropper below.

Remeber to focus on the colder water at the headwaters and middle sections of creeks. The lower sections are pretty warm right now which is normal for August.

A 30 percent chance of showers after 4pm. Increasing clouds, with a high near 83. Light and variable wind becoming southeast 5 to 10 mph in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 20 mph.
Things are in very good shape for later summer weather wise. The next few days the temperatures are in the high 70s to low 80s with overnights right around 60. It is still summertime trout fishing, but with the cooler temps and scatter rains the next few days things will be fishing well. Still keep your focus on the morning into the earlier part of the day. The mid day fishing is usually much slower without full cloud cover.
There are still a few tricos in the mornings, then fishing terrestrials with bead heads below the rest of the day.
