Tr Richland County

[Driftless]

was pretty obvious no one had fished the area for a long time.  The first couple casts there were multiple trout following each cast.  Did well on numbers but nothing of size and photo worth.  Would be a really good stream to start a kid on.

Andy Nezworski is from Waukesha and a new friend I met from the internet.  He is good fly angler and we had a ball this morning in Richland County.

 

We fished a half a day and matched his best full day outing ever for numbers.  He landed 30 browns.  He had one hole that he had a 40 casts 40 bites run.  It was amazing.  I also cast in there and got four hits.  I picked up a dozen browns today also.

 

 

I watched most of the morning.  Andy wanted to continue to fish so I dropped him off at a seldom fished place upstream and he will be on stream until 5pm.

Was a little cold today but the cloud cover was perfect for fishing.  The water clarity was about perfect.

Andy used a variety of nymphs and buggers on his 5 weight rod.

Two Hours On Water.

Used my net twice.  Attempted use two other times and fish got off before I could net them.

Thirteen brown to hand.  Four under fifteen inches and the rest were over.

The two biggest pictured below.
 

Couldn't get all of her in the photo.

Trout all tight to structure or along banks tight.  Water temp was 46 and a slow on and off sprinkle.

Found a clean enough waterway to fish.

Water:  Stained a little high

Temps:  Outside 60 degrees  Water: 60 degrees

Has been a month since fished this stream.  Lots of weeds in water and weeds on shore almost too tall to fish from shore.

35 browns to hand.

Only one photo worthy.
