Wisconsin Driftless

[smarty140]

I made an escape for a quick 3-day weekend in the Driftless area of SW Wisconsin this past weekend. The area had gotten quite a bit of rain on Thursday, and more on Friday, so some of the streams were off-color on Friday. The rain also seemed to slow down the trico action, which was a big part of what I was hoping to hit.

The other attraction was hoppers, which there were tons of in the grass. It was great having some topwater action for browns!

A “thank you” goes out to Itchmesir for giving me some local intel and tips for areas to try while I was down there.

A few pics from the weekend - it was super foggy each morning, which made the scenery better than the early morning fishing...

Hopper eater!

I’ve seen a lot of trash in streams over the years, but a microwave??? How on earth does that get in there?

Looks like a great trip, I'm glad Eric was able to point you in the right direction!

Great trip thread. Thanks for the pics. They'd kill for water like that this week

Thanks for the report - I have to admit, I have seen a lot of things in rivers, but never a microwave!
