Fall Line Outfitters Co.'s Tip of the Week

When it's too cold to fish in the winter, fly tying a great substitute for stream time. A good winter fly box for the Tomorrow River should include both small and large stonefly nymphs, eggs, and jig leeches. Take the time while the weather is inhospitable to build your box so you can seize the opportunity to hit the river once things warm up a little.

5-Day Outlook as of 1/22/26

Another super cold week ahead. Hopefully you're enjoying the opportunity to catch up on your fly tying! Once temps come back up, we'll still have quite a bit of shelf ice built up.

Techniques & Tips as of 1/22/26

Replenish your fly boxes for your favorite hatches of the season. Tie some new experimental flies to solve last season's problems. Connect with other anglers and tiers in your area.

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.
