Hopper dropper and the parachute sulpher were the hot flies in the beautiful streams of southwest wisconsin. My friend Jeff Wenger from Jeff's Jigs and Flies and I met in Lacrosse at 6am and hit the water. We started with Hopper dropper which is a dual fly rig with a foam hopper as the point fly and one of Jeff's bead head pheasant tail nymph size 20 as a dropper fly. We caught multiple fish on Jeff's dropper. Great fly.
As the sun dropped lower in the sky and cooler temperatures arrived, rising trout were more frequent. The parachute Sulpher dun seemed to be the hot fly.
I don't make this trip without the help of the people at driftless angler. This fly shop is located in Viroqua WI and has a website with great information in that area.
