All in all this week does not give us anything to get excited about. While mid to later week the temperatures look decent, the overnight lows are still in the negatives meaning sluggish fish and sparse hatches usually.
Overall this week is nothing to get too excited about. Wednesday and Thursday could be good, but there is a chance of some slushy mess coming on those days too.
Shop opens 7 days a week starting March 1st!
Partly sunny, with a high near 38. South wind 8 to 11 mph becoming west in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 20 mph.
Warm and sunny early this week, then some weird winter weather but decent temps. This is a narrow window to find some happier fish in the winter. Leeches and midges will be key. Focus on the mid day fishing as rising water temperature will be key. The little snow we have on the banks will begin melting and drop the water temperature quite a bit. Once that happens, fishing will shut down completely. If it gets too bad things might even muddy up.
Shop is open on Saturdays and will start 7 days a week March 1!
Partly sunny, with a temperature falling to around 23 by 5pm. Breezy, with a light west wind increasing to 15 to 20 mph in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 28 mph.
While today’s temps are good, the rest of the week tanks into highs in the teens. Not good fishing conditions. The cold front starts rolling in this morning so if you are out today, make sure to constantly check water temps Once they start to drop, fishing will shut down.
Shop is open Saturday from 9-2 and you can also e-mail us to set up an appointment. 7 days a week starts March 1st!
Sunny, with a high near 17. Wind chill values as low as -6. Northwest wind 3 to 7 mph.
It’s cold out there! Wind chill will remain below zero until Sunday. Saturday is a phantom weather day. The high is 23, but the wind will be bitter.
The good news is that Monday and Tuesday offer an opportunity to get out and fish for a bit mid day. The temperatures will be in the low 30s. After that, we get quite a few days of freezing weather again.
Shop open Saturday from 9-2. Call about Monday and Tuesday if you need us to open up we are around.
A 20 percent chance of snow before 11am. Mostly cloudy, with a temperature rising to near 26 by 11am, then falling to around 17 during the remainder of the day. Blustery, with a northwest wind 5 to 10 mph increasing to 13 to 18 mph in the afternoon.
Phantom warm up this morning, but quickly going back to too cold to fish.
Creeks are showing some shelf ice after the past couple of days of sub zero temperatures. It has been bitterly cold and will take a while for that ice to melt off and for creeks to get into fishable shape again. The good news is that a tiny bit of a warm up comes this weekend (mid 20s). If the sun peeks out it can melt the snow and set up for some good fishing early next week (temps in the low 30s). It all depends on how much of the shelf ice melts between now and early next week. We will keep you postd.
Shop is open Satuday 9-2
Sunny and cold, with a high near 1. Wind chill values as low as -26. Northwest wind 6 to 11 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph.
Nope. Weather breaks a bit on Wednesday. Otherwise super cold until next week hopefully!
It’s cold out there!
Partly sunny, with a high near 8. Wind chill values as low as -19. Blustery, with a northwest wind 16 to 21 mph, with gusts as high as 37 mph.
All week long highs without windchill barely top 20 degrees. Time to tie flies and clean fly lines!
Mostly sunny, with a high near 29. Wind chill values as low as -17. South wind 10 to 15 mph becoming southwest in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 29 mph.
After a chilly week last week there are more angler friendly temperatures ahead. Nothing to get too excited or drive a long distance for yet unless you really need to get out of the house.
A small snow system is moving into the area today, but the forecast is not calling for any major snows between now and the weekend.
Midges are hatching mid day, and trout are also eating nymphs rolled along the bottom as well as leeches dead drifted over the lips of pools.
Increasing clouds, with a high near 30. Breezy, with a south wind 8 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 28 mph.
Today will be decent out on the water, but still not quite prime. There are a few midges hatching and fish fed for a little bit mid day, but nothing to get too excited about.
There is a cold snap coming in until Saturday. Doesn’t look like tolerable weather until the weekend at this point.
Shop will be open Saturday 9-2.
Happy New Year and season opener!
A 20 percent chance of snow after 4pm. Cloudy, with a high near 9. Wind chill values as low as -10. North wind 5 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph.
What a bummer of an opener. Cold and high wind chill, it isn’t worth it to fish as it will sink, and the fish will be harmed if they are taken out of the water.
Things turn around again around Tuesday looking at the forecast.
Remember in the winter you are looking for at least 25 degrees and sunny or 35 degrees and cloudy for the best fishing. Anything colder than that and you will enjoy being outside, but do not expect good fishing.
During January and February the shop is open very limited hours and by appointment. Please e-mail the shop or message us via WhatsApp (608-637-8779) to set up an appointment. On weekends where the weather isn’t horrible we will be open as well.
