I started fly-fishing last summer and really started to enjoy it.
However,
nearly all of my fishing was done on the surface with drys, or in very
clear
spring creeks (I live in WI) with wooly buggers, etc.

Could anyone offer some advice, or references, on
good early-season tactics?

I can't give you any first hand info, having only fished Midwest spring
creeks once (George C. or Wolfgang would be your best sources here), but
"Flyfishing Midwestern Spring Creeks- anglers guide to trouting the
driftless area" by Ross A. Mueller - available @ Amazon, Barnes & Noble,
etc. -seems to give good info. It gives pretty detailed coverage of quite a
number of WI, MN, & Iowa streams, and fairly thorough treatment of tactics,
patterns, etc. for each season of the year.

As I said, I only fished in the area once - S. Fk. of the Whitewater in MN -
and that was in late July, but I did reasonably well following the book's
guidance, even though it was real dog day conditions.
