Showers, mainly before 11am. High near 70. Light north wind becoming northwest 5 to 9 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible.
Good drizzly weather and clouds through the day.

We’re getting complaints more and more about anglers getting cut off, high holed, and crowded.

If there is a car at an access point, drive to another access point. There is plenty of room to spread out on public and accessible water in the area.
Do not access the creek upstream of other anglers (high holing), checking in with other anglers is ok, but do not hop above and ruin the fishing for others.
There is no reason to trespass. Conservation easements are bankside access only. You are not legally allowed to cross fields.
Do no block gates, farm access roads or driveways. Park off the street, pull in your mirrors and leave room for cars and farm equipment to pass.

We have lots of water, and there is no reason to crowd. Just treat other anglers like you would want to be treated,

With the rain, we are looking at potentially happier fish eating foam indicator patterns with bead heads below. Subsurface flies can be a mix of thin and flashy, and thicker scud type patterns in this weather.
On the surface, watch for lighter colored mayflies the last few hours of the day.

Increasing clouds, with a high near 73. Breezy, with a northwest wind 11 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 26 mph.
Looks like we have a string of mostly sunny days ahead. That means terrestrials with small flashy droppers during the day, and focusing heavily on the evening hatches of sulfurs and cahills (lighter body colored mayflies).
Craneflies will be out and about as well, so watch for those random splashy rises.
Creeks are clear to stained overall with temperatures right around 60 degrees.

A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 5pm. Partly sunny, then gradually becoming sunny, with a high near 78. West wind 6 to 14 mph, with gusts as high as 34 mph.
Rain over the past 24 hours was 1/4 to 3/4 of an inch at the heaviest. While this has blown out some of our area creeks, they will drop and clear up to fishable levels very quickly, and there is already some fishable water out there right now. Have a late breakfast, extra cup of coffee, or sleep in and focus mid day into the evening.
On the murky water, worm patterns, leeches and large scuds. On the stained water, big bright foam attractors with a thicker bodied bead head below. The creeks with some clarity should see the later mayfly hatches as well.

It’s almost here!

Showers and thunderstorms likely, mainly after 5pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 80. Light south wind increasing to 9 to 14 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
Dodging local, spotty rains has become a bit of a thing the past few days. The vast majority of our creeks are clear to slightly stained with temperatures right around 60 degrees. Things are in great shape except for the handful of valleys that have gotten some heavy rains.
Beetles with a dropper, craneflies, and lighter colored mayflies in the evening are the main menu items.

Remember, Fly Fishing Show and Drive In Movie Night is this Thursday!!

Showers and thunderstorms likely, mainly before 4pm. Cloudy, with a high near 78. Light south wind increasing to 8 to 13 mph in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 23 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

Clouds today will start to bunch up and maybe dump some rain on us today through Wednesday. Creeks are clear to slightly stained as the last spring rains missed us for the most part! The forecast, while rainy, does not look terrible until potentially Tuesday night.

Craneflies have been hot lately, along with smaller terrestrials with a dropper and lighter colored mayflies hatching in the evening. With potential rain, it will be mostly a subsurface day with fish happily feeding on pretty much any nymphs. Expect the scud and crayfish fishing to pick up with the cloud cover as well.

Showers and thunderstorms likely, mainly before 4pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 69. South wind 3 to 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
Don’t fear the rains, it isn’t forecasted to be heavy at all, more of a light drizzle all throughout the day, perfect conditions for trout fishing the Driftless!
Creeks are clear and flowing well, beetles with droppers all day long, and lighter colored mayflies in the evenings are hatching!

Sunny, with a high near 71. South wind 6 to 11 mph.

WIth this high pressure system sitting over us again today, fish are very spooky. Focus on the riffles and shady areas. For a late spring bonus, the shady areas are also some of the best terrestrial fishing right now. Overhanging grass, trees etc are highways for ants and beetles. Make sure to fish a small terrestrial wherever thing are hanging over the creeks.

Hatch wise we are seeing mayflies, mostly in the evenings, but a few here and there during the day too. Sulphurs, cahills… all of the lighter colored mayflies are around. There are a few caddis (mostly egg layers) and craneflies too.

Subsurface fishing has been solid on thinner bodied bead heads.

Leeches, streamers and mice at night.

Mostly sunny, with a high near 68. Light and variable wind becoming north 5 to 7 mph in the morning.
Creeks are clear to slightly stained. The recent rains were good, soaking rains and did not muddy things up in our area!
We continue to see caddis and craneflies throughout the day, and lighter colored mayflies hatching in the evenings. On some mornings, we are getting a decent spinner fall at dawn as well.
With the sunny and dry weather, we expect the small terrestrials to be out and about. A beetle or ant will be excellent when the sun is shining all day long!
Subsurface fishing is best with thin profile nymphs with a bit of sparkle on days like today.

Don’t forget, our fly fishing show and drive in movie night is in one week! Details, sponsor list and more can be found on our facebook event page here:

Showers and thunderstorms before 3pm, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm between 3pm and 4pm, then scattered showers and thunderstorms after 4pm. Patchy fog before 8am. High near 63. Light northwest wind increasing to 6 to 11 mph in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
Creeks are clear to stained with temperatures in the high 50s to 60. The recent rains were all pretty mellow and did not muddy much up except for the lower sections of creeks.
The limiting factor right now is the crowds. This has been an unusually busy season please keep in mind that crowds are not a problem if you show respect to other anglers and landowners. Don’t crowd other anglers, block gates or field access etc, and DO NOT WALK ON PRIVATE LAND. If we want to keep our area special, follow the simple golden rule.
We’re seeing caddis, craneflies, lighter colored mayflies in the evenings, and the terrestrial bite has been quite good when things dry out in the later morning.
Subsurface fishing has been good on, well, just about everything! Fish are in a good mood and a well drifted nymph in, and below, the riffle will get you some fish.
Larger streamers and mice at night are picking up right now too!
