Why the Driftless is a magical place. Up exploring the headwaters of this creek.
Also why.
Was hoping hoppers would bring fish to hand, but there is just so much food to eat looking down, there's no reason to look up.
We've had a few nice overcast afternoons the past couple days and I decided to trout it. Volcano Spring and Little Creek. Took a while to get the touch, but the ones eating were taking olive scuds in the riffles. Moved 3 nice fish on Little Creek: landed one, missed one and lost one. Sometimes it's hard to fight them in tight quarters!
Kate asked how the fishing was. "Good," I said " Challenging." "Good," she said " It's good for you to be challenged."
These were two really lovely evenings back to back exploring unfamiliar waters.
