| menomonie, WI Posts: 72 | anyone been out lately??? I got out today for a bit but it was really sunny and there wasn't much action. The river recovered remarkably quickly for how high it was just 2 days ago. I could actually see through the water to the bottom in most places. There were a couple of hatches happening including little black darth vaders and the occasional caddis. No real strong surface action though. Caught a couple on a lightning nymph but never found consistency. Tomorrow is supposed to be a bit cloudy so I may skip out for a bit. | |

| menomonie, WI Posts: 72 | Okay, so apparently the WI contingent is far too busy fishing and enjoying the beautiful weather to put up a little update on their successes/tribulations. I got out this weekend on the Rush River and had a blast both Friday evening and Saturday morning. Early morning on Saturday provided a healthy BWO hatch. They were all flying straight up river very fast as if they had somewhere to be. Does anyone know why they would be behaving like this. They even seemed to start flying back downstream after a while? It was like the morning commute or something. Beautiful. A mid-afternoon smaller caddis hatch broke up the constant tying and experimenting with everything in my box. I am getting excited for hopper season which should start hitting anytime now. Anyone else having any luck??? | |

| Hayward, WI. Posts: 123 | Freepow, I hope that is the case for rest of the WI contingent; I however have been working seven days a week since the second week of April. I am finding it difficult to acquire the necessary energy to fish all night and work all day. My posts have become few and far between due to a lack of available computer time. Not whining just the facts. I have noticed though that Gonzo, Louis, Shawn and the rest of the PA contingent must have the summer off. They obviously have the time to keep up on both. As far as fly migration up and down stream I swear that I witnessed a White Fly blizzard on the the Namekagon River so dense that when I blinked my eyes they changed direction. I can only assume it was an optical illusion. | |

| Posts: 16 | Hey guys: I live in River Falls. By the way...it's a RUMOR there're trout on the Rush River! I have fished it for many years and have yet to catch ONE trout. I've seen suckers, chubs, dace...but never any trout. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. Bill | |
