Upper Wisconsin Float Trip Flies
Have fished the Wisconsin a couple times this week. The bass are best
described as being "tentative". You can catch them but they aren't smashing the flies like they were a few weeks ago. I've had my best luck dead drifting brown bead head wooly buggers through deeper runs.(Although any other earth tone crappie jig would work, I'd wager.) I've also caught some fish on actively retrieved streamers (Clousers etc). Nothing on top unfortunately. One fly that people may want to have in their arsenals is a #10-#12 White Wulff. The Ephoron hatch is overdo on the River and even though this week promises to be cool (temps in 60s) they will have to come off sometime. The nice thing is that I've found that in cooler Summers they tend to emerge earlier in the day, say about 6pm as opposed to their hatching nearer to dark in warmer years. g.c. Muskies *are* biting though. Lost one last time out. |

I've got 4 evenings left to tie up whatever I'll need for our little venture. Or, to put it another way, you'd best keep a close eye on your fly boxes. :) g.c. Muskies *are* biting though. Lost one last time out. What's the record on 6x tippet? Jay informs me that as he will be arriving home from Montreal late on Friday night, he will probably not be joining us.......sucks to be him, I guess. Becky informs me that she is going to try to convince her brother to join us.......I got a shiny new nickel says she fails. Unless you hear otherwise, I guess we'll just plan to meet at MacDonald's in Eagle River between 8 and 9 on Saturday morning. Joel, you copy? Wolfgang |

However, it's about two blocks from a nice little cafe (whose name I can't remember) that will remind you of Champ's. I figure whoever gets there first can live on bad coffee till we all converge and move over to the good stuff. :) http://makeashorterlink.com/?T13F52209 McD's is the red star. I get a "cannot find server" message. Anyway, I know where it is, and Joel........well, you can't lose him no matter how hard you try. See you Saturday morning. Wolfgang |
