Trout Fishing this Weekend


Recommended Posts

Anyone else going to get out trout fishing this weekend for the catch and release opener? I am going to try to get out and fly fish in the coulee region, not sure what to expect with snow and ice on some of the small streams. it is also supposed to get pretty warm on saturday i believe so there might be some high water.

It might tough this year to get to open water. I check out a few deep pools last weekend and they were frozen. Hopefully today the sun comes out and melts off some snow to raise water levels.

Last year the high temp was about 20, not fun.

I don't fish the kinnie that often any more, maybe once or twice a year. But when I lived closer to the area I fished it quite often. I've actually fish the rush a little more because I've always had better luck finding larger fish.

i caught a few small browns on saturday. there was just enough wind to make it difficult to fish the smaller streams that i was fishing. still good to get out and spend some time on the stream. caught the fish on beadhead nymphs. 50 degree weather today might make the streams interesting next week.

Very difficult conditions on Saturday: cold, ice and changing sky make for tough going. Still, it was fun to get out and fish, partner and I pulled up some decent browns.

Waiting until spring!

Most of the water I wanted to fish was still iced up. Found some open water upstream but had little luck. The water was as low and clear as I've seen it and giant iceburgs were clogging up the river pretty good. I'll probably give it a week until I try it again.

The Rush produced fish both sat. and sunday, despite being icy, windy and ultra clear... Watch the shelf Ice if anyone ventures out this week... not worth taking a bath in the 38 degree water...

#16 broze pheasant tails were top producer for me... Good luck all and stay safe

fishing is starting to pick up as the temperatures rise. i have been catching a lot of nice fish on small beadhead nymphs. not many fish on the surface yet, i guess we havent had a solid week of warm weather to get a good hatch going. the water is still pretty clear in most streams so try to find some deep/fast runs to help camouflage yourself from the fish. how has everyone else been doing?

Fishing has been great in western SW WI. Rivers are in perfect shape as of last weekend. Pt's were working, drifting up and across. Nothing big yet but still fun to get out and enjoy the driftless. Small hatches with would trigger a sipping rise.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
