Well, I drove through a large part of the SE third of Wisconsin last
week. Streams are all running freely with very little ice even along the banks. By Friday nearly all of the snow had disappeared from the surrounding landscape. Unless we get significant precipitation between now and Saturday, the 6th, stream levels should be very manageable with no undue silt load. No significant precipitation is expected. Weather.com says high of 36 and low of 24 for Friday, 40/26 for Saturday, and 42/31 for Sunday. Few snow showers on Friday and Saturday, and mostly sunny on Sunday. Assuming anyone is still interested, someone still has to make a choice of location. A couple of us have expressed indifference to Black Earth creek but not much else has been suggested. If anyone has a preference, this would be the time to make it known. I WILL be going somewhere (whether to fish or merely do the tourist thing will hinge on weather, mood, etc.). I'm moderately familiar with a few streams in Vernon county....West Fork of the Kickapoo, Timber Coulee, and a couple of others....but I understand that it's a long drive for anyone coming up from Illinois or other points south. I'll bow to anyone else's requirements. If I don't get a stated preference from anyone in the next day or two I'll pick a spot myself and let you all know where I'll be on Saturday morning.

My plans are to leave Indy about 7pm Friday and get at least to Rockford IL or even Madison Friday night. My preferences are for the streams around the Fennimore area but will bow to the group. I don't think we need to be on the stream first thing Sat morning, so a meeting point for breakfast would be decent and a final group vote could be made if needed. Wayne |

O.k., we got one vote for the Fennimore area. So far, that's one more than any place else. I assume you know some of the streams around there. Unless we hear from someone else, I'll be counting on you for guide service. ![]() Wolfgang |

Wolfgang Unfortunately it looks less and less likely that I'll make it (still sick) . But it if I were going I'd try the Big Green or Big Spring, both north of Fennimore. If they were too crowded I'd keep the Trout Stream Regs/Map book and a DeLorme atlas open on the seat next to me and drive until I found a nice looking piece of water. People have been seeing gray caddis and midges coming off across the Big River on the creeks in Iowa. g.c. If the fishing doesn't work out there is always this: http://www.sceniclodivalley.org/lrl_...adsleopold.htm |

Ya, Georgie's o.k., in a nort woodsie kinda way.......I guess......but, ya seen one Curd, ya pretty much seen 'em all. ![]() But it if I were going I'd try the Big Green One of the streams I had the desire to fish. That's two votes Wolfie. Well, I have never yet objected to scoping out a new bit of water.......seems kinda silly to start now. BTW: Becky says we got room to put up a body for a night, if you don't care to drive as far as Mad Town. Wolfgang and we still got time to lay in a stock of whatever beverage is required. |

... BTW: Becky says we got room to put up a body for a night, if you don't care to drive as far as Mad Town. Thanks for the offer, but I'll probably be traveling with a big 2-1/2 yo Golden, Ralph's a great dog but we're a little behind the eight ball in the obedience department with him. We'll pick a Holiday Inn somewhere near Madison, which will also make the Sunday morning trip before the return home easier. But can I take a rain check for my summer return to the Tomorrow River? and we still got time to lay in a stock of whatever beverage is required. I'm gonna pack some Two Hearted Ale, some Bell's Pale Ale, and a flask of Scotland's finest. What else would we like? I was hoping to get out of town early enough to hit up the warehouse sale @ Sam's Wine and Spirits in Chicago before heading north and west, but it looks like I won't be leaving soon enough. ![]() Wayne |
