Fishing Report

Scattered showers and thunderstorms, mainly after noon. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 74. East wind around 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
The major rains are well south of us (south of hwy 18) and we have clouds and very light drizzle as of this morning.
Overall creeks in our area are clear to slightly stained with temperatures in the high 50s to 60 degrees.
Fish are back to normal, and feeding well on beetles, small hoppers and ants during the day. We still have a few leftover sulphurs in the nighttime, but the hatch is fading as we transition into summer terrestrial time.
Subsurface fishing has been very good on smaller, thin bodied bugs and anything with a bit of flash. The trout are spooky, so make sure you use some stealth when you approach your spots, and focus on the broken water so you have some cover from trout seeing you. If you can see the fish, they can see you!

A chance of showers and thunderstorms before noon, then isolated showers between noon and 1pm, then a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms after 1pm. Cloudy, with a high near 75. Light and variable wind becoming northwest 5 to 7 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
Some rain last night (half an inch or so near Viroqua, a little less south of us) cooled things down and refreshed the creeks. Water will be clear to stained this morning, and we are forecasted for a bit more rain on and off through the day and the week. If anything heavy hits and muddys the creeks up, we will let you know.
Throughout the day, we will continue fishing indicator dries with bead heads below, or swing leeches and small streamers below the riffles. At night we are still seeing some sulphur mayflies hatching (although the hatch is slowing down a bit in some places).

Mostly sunny, with a high near 89. Breezy, with a south wind 13 to 22 mph, with gusts as high as 32 mph.
Our mini heat wave was blunted a bit yesterday thanks to cloud cover. The sun never had much of a chance to shine onto the creeks and water temperatures stayed pretty stable.
Today will be hot and sunny and pretty uncomfortable with the humidity. Again, we get a small silver lining in that whatever rise in water temperatures will be reset by rains tonight and into tomorrow.
So, while water temperatures may pop up a bit temporarily they should stabilize again by tomorrow!

Partly sunny, with a high near 88. South wind 6 to 11 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
Hot and potentially stormy on and off until Wednesday. If you fish, please fish first thing in the morning then be diligent about checking water temperatures. They have been pretty stable up until this short heat wave. Things normalize (hopefully) after some rains Tuesday night and into Wednesday.
Our recommendation: Chase some panfish on your local ponds, or other warm water species and give trout a couple days break.

A chance of sprinkles with a slight chance of showers between 9am and 11am, then a slight chance of showers after 11am. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 77. Southeast wind 8 to 11 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.
Creeks are clear and temperatures are good for now. The next few hot days will mess with water temperatures quite a bit, we are looking at 90 degrees for the next few days. Probably a good few days to avoid…
Beetles and droppers through the day, sulfurs hatching at night.

Sunny, with a high near 78. Northwest wind 5 to 9 mph becoming north in the afternoon.
Creeks are clear and still a touch low with temperatures thankfully holding stable in the high 50s for now.
The warm weather moving in (hot early next week) will slow things down mid day, focus your fishing energy early in the day (rusty spinners, beetles with a dropper) and later at night (sulfurs, cahills, egg laying caddis). A mid day siesta is a wonderful thing!
If any of the rains hit through the weekend it will help cool things down significantly.

Light rains (and some locally heavy) have the creeks in good shape for a warmer weekend. Hotter and humid than normal.
Yesterday’s heat was chased away by a light rain in most areas (a bit heavier south of Viroqua). The creeks are still all in great shape though, clear to slightly stained.
The warmer weather is playing havoc with the temperatures with things bouncing up and down throughout the week. Make sure you use your thermometer and watch the trends. Anything over 65 is poor fishing, and a quickly rising temperature usually means fishing will slow down quite a bit.
While we have not seen hoppers yet, fish are responding to training wheels and large beetles (and small ants too!) especially in shaded areas. Putting a bead head below is very effective.
On the surface, we are still seeing sporadic cranefly hatches as well as our lighter colored mayflies at night.

A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 4pm. Some of the storms could produce heavy rainfall. Increasing clouds, with a high near 85. Southwest wind 6 to 11 mph, with gusts as high as 21 mph.
Hot out there today and tomorrow! This will definitely slow things down a bit. Fish early in the morning, then the last couple hours of the day. Make sure to take a water temperature as this mini heat wave will temporarily bump water temps up today and into tomorrow. Anything over 65 degrees will be slow fishing.

Showers likely between 11am and 3pm. Cloudy, then gradually becoming mostly sunny, with a high near 74. South wind 5 to 10 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.
A little cloud cover and some decent weather today! Fishing has been good as the creeks are all clear and a bit low with temperatures right around 60. The cloud cover will make trout more comfortable today.
We’re still seeing lighter colored mayflies in the evenings hatching, and throughout the day tossing smaller foam attractors and beetles with bead heads below.
As the hatch starts in the early evening, switching to emergers (seam sippers work well here) then dries can be fun!

Sunny, with a high near 70. North wind 3 to 7 mph.
Incredibly nice weather today and tomorrow, with a warm front coming in mid week bringing some wind and potential evening rains. Not a terrible weather forecast overall for the week.
Creeks are still a touch low and running clear. Temperatures are right around 60 area wide. The trout’s menu has not changed much since last week. Smaller terrestrials (ants and beetles especially on the breezy days!), crane flies, and lighter colored mayflies hatching in the evenings. Watch for mayfly spinners in the very early morning with trout sipping on the surface before the sun gets too high in the sky.
Subsurface fishing has been quite good on thin patterns with a bit of flash lately.
The night time anglers have started to report some success on leeches, streamers and mice once the sun starts to set!
