Fall Line Outfitters Co.'s Tip of the Week

High spring flows are a great opportunity to work off the rust on your streamer game. Target those soft water areas like banks, eddies, and seams with a weighted leech pattern. Experiment with depth and movement until you find the fish. Often an upstream cast with good line management that picks up the slack just as fast as the current is winning tactic. Strikes are often strong, so having good control with your line hand will ensure a good hook set. Resist the urge to raise your rod, as you'll only draw the fly away from the fish rather than solidifying the set.

Description: About Tomorrow River

The Tomorrow River undergoes many changes as it flows its 22 miles through sandy Portage County. The upper Tomorrow is characterized by tight quarters fishing for wild Brown Trout and native Brook Trout. These sandy headwaters give way to a greater variety of water types, punctuated by large granite boulders as the Tomorrow transitions into its lower sections. Locals use the Amherst Dam as a landmark to distinguish between the Tomorrow’s upper and lower sections. As a whole, the Tomorrow River sustains a healthy trout population with its fair share of 20” fish. Each June, multiple generations of anglers converge in anticipation of the Tomorrow’s prolific Hex hatch. Only a 20 minute drive from Stevens Point, with easy access points in Nelsonville, Amherst, and Waupaca.
