Snow is retreating from the more and more constant presence of the invincible Sun.
With the melting snow comes high and off colored water.
If you have ever felt like throwing articulated streamers at streams you can jump over, this this is your time. This is my time. This is our time!
Tie on those over sized leeches, buggers, articulated fur and feathers and let's ride.
This time of year is good for streamer fanatics for two reasons:
One. It makes it easier to sneak up on trout as they cannot see you due to he off colored water.
Two. Fish are ambushing larger prey that is washing in and drifting in the streams.
Here are some patterns that have been working for me this season in the Driftless:
"Milwaukee Leech" - I tied some giant sz 2 and 4 and the fish like them.
"Boogie Man" - a Kelly Galloup pattern that I shrunk down to size. Sz 6.
"Blood Leech"- AZ semi seal is magic. I really like the red black color. Sz 8-12.
Tight lines.
