STREAM CONDITIONS AND BLOG
A lot of rain in the Root River watershed had muddied the main stems but let upper stretches very fishable, South Fork and South Branch are muddy in the downstream stretches and but should clear enough or fly fishing by the weekend with little rain predicted The upstream portions of these streams have been running clear enough for a fly. Reports indicate some Caddis (Elk Hair 14) hatching and some rising fish but many fish taken on bead head nymphs.

How about another stream report? Has it settled down since the heavy rains last week?

The main branches are still running high and stained but all the smaller streams in the area are just slightly stained and very fishable.
