The southern Wisconsin tributaries are currently BLOWN OUT! Not to worry, this warm weather and rain is much needed to melt whatever remaining ice there is and bring the water level up so that the fish feel comfortable moving upstream. Steelhead spend most of their adult lives in the ocean, or in my case Lake Michigan in water sometimes over 100 ft deep where there is little light. That makes these fish even more sensitive to light than other fish. So when they migrate from the “big water” to the rivers they wait for the water to rise allowing them to feel less threatened from predators. For now the rivers are flooded, but fish are moving upstream! and when the water level recedes the fishing should be hot!
