Fall Line Outfitters Co.'s Tip of the Week

Hot, sunny days like these call for fishing early and late in the day. Water temps will be most agreeable to the trout in the mornings, but there is often more insect activity in the evenings, so depending on how you want to fish, plan accordingly. Those who enjoy fishing dry flies will definitely want to get out in the evenings as we enter our peak hatch window.

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.
