Fall Line Outfitters Co.'s Tip of the Week

By following the river conditions, you can plan your outings for greater success. After rain has fallen, water levels rise, and temperature and clarity will decrease. At these times, focus on subsurface presentations with nymphs and streamers as trout are forced to move to new lies and there is more available food in the drift. After a couple days as levels come back down and clarity and temperature start to increase, the trout will shift more to feeding during the night and early mornings.

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.
