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.
It is going to be extremely hot and humid Sunday and Monday, and the temperatures will not drop until mid week. We do not recommend fishing under these conditions as they are not safe to be outside for prolonged periods of time, not to mention the stress on the fish with the increase in water temperatures.
Looking ahead, things cool down a bit mid week, and we are supposed to get some rain on Thursday which will get things back to normal.
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.
A 20 percent chance of showers before 10am. Cloudy, then gradually becoming mostly sunny, with a high near 74. Northwest wind 7 to 14 mph.
Cooler weather through the weekend! This will extend the morning fishing a bit and give us opportunities to responsibly fish the evening (not having to worry about water temps) on smaller creeks.
Please remember to use your thermometer, Anything over 65 will be slow to poor fishing, and much warmer than that can be harmful to trout.
We’re still getting a few trico spinner falls in the mornings, then fishing terrestrials with droppers through the day. Hoppers are ok, but beetles seem to be the food of choice this season for our driftless trout!
Mostly sunny, with a high near 78. Light and variable wind becoming southeast around 6 mph in the morning.
Creeks are clear to stained after some rains a couple nights ago. Overall things are in very good shape for August! You still want to focus on fishing very early in the morning up until about 10 a.m. when the bright sun tends to shut things down. However, with the cooler temps this week, you do have the chance to fish a bit in the evening when the sun comes off the water, or during the day if we get some scattered cloud cover or you find some shade.
Tricos in the mornings, terrestrials with droppers the rest of the day.
Mostly cloudy, then gradually becoming sunny, with a high near 73. Northeast wind 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 24 mph.
Very pleasant weather out there (except for the wind) today. Last night’s rains were intense but quick. Dropping an inch or two of water in our area with a bit more concentration south of Viroqua. Overall creeks we scouted this morning were mixed with some crystal clear and some pretty muddy. The good news is that there is fishing to be had, and the rains will stretch the mid summer fishing time a bit longer than the hot days last week.
Search for water with a bit of a stain as fish will be far happier there.
With the storms, we expect tricos to have a day or two before they get back on track. Focus on terrestrials with droppers in the clearer water (scuds will be great for a couple days!) and leeches and worm patterns in the stained to murky waters.
