Driftless Area
Rating: 3, temperature: 51 ℉, condition: Cloudy.
Update 11:28 a.m.-- Geri is out scouting and fishing and has found crystal clear water with rising fish.A deep freeze last night stemmed any melting from yesterday and gave the streams a chance to clear up. Expect stained water, but by no means unfishable conditions throughout today.
Large scuds (especially orange as lots of scuds have given up the ghost with higher water and a freeze last night) and thick bodied nymphs are fishing very well, and a warmer sunny day will get the midges and a handful of mayflies hatching in the afternoon.
Fish have been extremely responsive to twitched flies and flies fished with controlled drag. Slight movement to mimic life or a hatching bug will get some of the most picky fish to eat.
