The water we had last week caused some quick swelling in the tribs but a
lot of the smaller rivers have dropped very quickly. Even though the
root had a tremendous push of fish in the last week, flows have fallen
to under 30CFS leaving most of the fish in the rivers spooked. This
weekend tons of people were out snagging fish and keeping them and the
fish currently in the river don't stand a chance with their back half
out the water. The root, oak, and pike need some more rain before
considering them in good condition.
This weekend look to the
bigger rivers like the Milwaukee and the Sheboygan to just be coming
down to fishable flows. The action could be tremendous there this
weekend.
Here's a nice brown Neal took on skein floated on a fly rod at the Root. Too bad that wasn't a driftless trout...

Oh man if that was a Driftless trout I that would be even cooler. Still that is one heck of a Brown. Look at that crazy kype it has going on. Good stuff. Thanks for the tips. Tight Lines.
