Fishing Report

Partly sunny, with a high near 81. Southeast wind around 6 mph.
Clouds and light rains move in tonight which should bring back the olive hatch. In the meantime continue fishing the hopper/dropper.
Creeks are clear and flowing a bit low with very good water temperatures.
The streamer and leech bit is also heating up. As we head into fall, the fish are starting to get aggressive and pack on some pounds. The leaves are starting to change, temperatures cooling and the trout are happy!

Increasing clouds, with a high near 81. Calm wind becoming southeast 5 to 7 mph in the morning.
Things are good here, but improving later in the week. We have clear and sunny skies and while the fishing is still good, fish are quite spooky in the clear water.
Seek out shade, fish early and late, and focus on the turbulent water below the riffles.
Things cool down and get cloudy and drizzly later in the week! We should definitely see the olive hatch return then. For now, it is hopper/dropper and small leeches.

Patchy fog before 8am. Otherwise, sunny, with a high near 77. Southeast wind 6 to 9 mph.
It’s still hopper season, and the creeks are in good shape flow, temperature and clarity wise. It’s the dang sun that is slowing things down! Fish early, fish late and find the shade to find fish.
Hatches are sparse and early and late in the day. Hopper or beetle with a bead head below the rest of the day.

Isolated showers and thunderstorms between 3pm and 4pm, then showers and possibly a thunderstorm after 4pm. High near 69. West wind 6 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
Cool and an overcast afternoon! Couldn’t ask for better weather for the weekend. Even though Sunday will be a bit warmer (high of 75) things are still quite good out there right now, and will only get better with the clouds this afternoon.
Nymph in the morning, later morning switch to terrestrial/dropper, and watch for olives in the later afternoon. There are also some smaller white mayflies out there too (fish a greased lightning!)

Sunny, with a high near 67. Light north wind becoming northwest 5 to 10 mph in the morning.
Creeks are clear to slightly stained with excellent temperatures in the high 50s to 60.
We’re looking at daytime temperatures barely hitting 70 all week through Sunday. These cool downs in fall provide some really good fishing. Not only are the fish eating terrestrials well, we are seeing some later afternoon olive hatches that have fish looking up. The normal rhythm is nymphing early in the morning, followed by hopper/dropper the rest of the day. If you see fish rising, a film star or tilt wing dun in a darker color to imitate the olives is very effective!
The other nice thing about this weather is that streamers and leeches are very effective again too.

Sunny, with a high near 63. North wind 5 to 10 mph, with gusts as high as 18 mph.
What an excellent start for the fall. The weather is very trout friendly with highs in the 60s all week long and lows in the low to mid 40s. Bring an extra layer this week for the chilly mornings!
Fish are responding very well to these temperatures. Things are taking a bit of time in the morning to get moving which means we are nymphing early, hopper dropper mid day through the evening, and we are starting to see the beginnings of the fall olive hatch in the later afternoon.
Creeks are clear to slightly stained after the rains a couple of days ago. Everything is in very good shape fishing wise.

Rain fell heavy and quick last night briefly muddying things up a bit, but creeks are dropping and clearly quickly.

The cool weather is a blessing and fish are going to be in an excellent mood moving forward! Cool weather and water ahead all week long!!!

Sunny, with a high near 85. South wind 6 to 13 mph, with gusts as high as 21 mph.
More important that just the fishing report, (hopper dropper etc same as usual for the late summer) the weather coming up looks excellent. Today is hot and sunny, tomorrow we could see some significant rain (which we still need), but starting Tuesday week we get a MAJOR cool down that looks like it will last quite a few days. Highs in the mid 60s, lows in the 40s… This is the weather we wait for all summer long! Look for not only terrestrials to be good, but we should see our late afternoon olives hatching then too (there are quite a few on the rocks ready to go). Get ready to visit for our first taste of true late summer/fall weather!

Sunny, with a high near 72. Light west wind.
A very pleasant summer day today. Weather looks good, even with a chance of rain later this week, until a brief warm up on Sunday.
Nothing much has changed fishing wise. It is hopper season in the Driftless! The banks are full of hopper, beetles, ants, and crickets. The day fly action does not really get going until the ground dries out, sometimes fish will not really look up until late morning.
Nymphing is key right now. Throwing some thinner bodied bugs such as perdigons, zebra midges and hot spot PTs works all day. We still prefer to fish them under a foam pattern (hippie stomper, training wheel etc) as when the terrestrial bite is on you have a chance for a fish to eat not only the nymph, but the ‘indicator’ too.
Creeks overall are clear to slightly stained with good temperatures.

Mostly cloudy, with a high near 69. Northwest wind 7 to 13 mph, with gusts as high as 21 mph.
A cooler day today will have fish in a decent mood. The gusty winds in the summertime help to blow terrestrials into the creeks making beetles, ants and hopper a good choice mid day through the evening.
Nymphs are still the most effective right now, with fish feeding on them all day long in the riffles and the runs below. Do not be afraid to toss a hopper/dropper all day long as the larger terrestrial pattern will act as an edible indicator for the nymphs down below.
Standard summertime conditions, nothing much has changed and the fishing remains good!
