Fall Line Outfitters Co.'s Tip of the Week

For those who prefer fishing during the daylight hours, fish can be caught with a variety of nymphs and dry flies. Expect nightly spinner falls of Hex to continue as the hatch progresses up the system. Night time streamer fishing is also very effective during this time. Have some mice or streamers on you while out for the Hex hatch to fish before or after a hatch.

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.
