Fishing Report

Snow, mainly before 4pm. High near 32. Southeast wind 3 to 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. Total daytime snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.
About 3 inches fell last night making morning travel a bit tricky and roadside parking difficult. The forecast changed for Friday now too calling for a bit more snow. Keep your eye on Saturday and Sunday, those are still looking like prime winter fishing days.
Despite the tricky weather, anglers have been having success on ice cream cones, zebra midges and two bit hookers subsurface. The midge hatch has been slow but a few risers are spotted each mid day.

Snow, mainly after 1pm. High near 31. South wind 11 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of less than one inch possible. 1-2 inches tonight.
Just a little bit more waiting, then fishing should really switch on starting tomorrow mid day! Temperatures will be perfect for mid day fishing, roughly from 10-2 as water temperatures warm and before snowmelt trickles in. Based on the forecast, the next few days are a green light for some good winter fishing! Shop will be open from 9-2 this week.

Mostly sunny, with a high near 21. Wind chill values as low as -8. Southwest wind 6 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 26 mph.
Normal winter day today but a high wind. Things calm down tomorrow wind wise and the weather will bring in some snow. Starting Thursday we will see milder temperatures through the weekend! Get your heavy bead heads, leeches and midge patterns ready. It’s almost bearable to get out on the water again!

Sunny, with a high near 17. Northwest wind 3 to 5 mph.
Creeks are low and clear with temperatures in the mid 30s. It’s true winter time and you have to choose your days wisely. It looks like Thursday through Sunday are going to be tolerable and decent mid day fishing.

A 40 percent chance of snow after 5pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 28. North wind 7 to 14 mph. Little or no snow accumulation expected.
Snow tonight 1-2 inches, snow Saturday 1-3 inches.
Not looking at the best conditions for fishing today and through the weekend. Things look far better early next week (Tuesday’s high is forecasted for 35).
Keep in mind that the shop is closed this week (until Monday the 20th) for our annual hosted trip to Argentina. Guides are still available, you just need to e-mail us and we can get you taken care of.

Drizzle and freezing rain, possibly mixed with sleet, becoming all drizzle after 3pm, then gradually ending. High near 44. Southeast wind 11 to 15 mph becoming southwest in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 29 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Little or no ice accumulation expected. Little or no sleet accumulation expected.
Nothing interesting after today. The warm weather today will have fish feeding, but the temperatures quickly tank back into cold until Monday.

Increasing clouds, with a high near 17. Wind chill values as low as -4. North wind 5 to 10 mph becoming east in the afternoon.
Not a day to be out fishing as the wind chill is not angler friendly.
Temperatures get better the next few days, but nothing really fantastic. Tomorrow we will see 40 degrees, but the clouds will spit on and off all day.

A chance of snow between 1pm and 4pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 31. West wind 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 26 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. Total daytime snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.
Looks like weird weather the rest of the week with temperatures bouncing higher and lower the normal with some winds and a little snow/rain. Overall it is still an unseasonably warm and dry winter.
Creeks are clear and running a touch low. Fish are very spooky!
Midges are hatching daily right around noon. While you may not always find a pod of rising fish, when you do, they will be feeding with abandon!
Overall, your best success will be on smaller, dark bodied flies like spanish bullets and zebra midges.
A leech pattern twitched or swung below riffles is also deadly in the winter time.

Increasing clouds, with a high near 37. West wind 6 to 9 mph.
Creeks are low and clear with water temperatures in the mid to high 30s. We have had a few abnormally warm days (remember it is winter in Wisconsin and this is what we consider warm!) that has made being on the creeks tolerable!
Fish are feeding in the riffles and runs on tungsten bead head nymphs (spanish bullet flies have been very effective) and scuds. Mid day, there have been some rising fish for an hour or so eating midge dries.
We have also had some success fishing leeches slowly right below the riffles.
With high sun and crystal clear water, the fish are spooky. Be as stealthy as possible and focus on the broken water (not the calm pools and flats) for best results.
