Fall Line Outfitters Co.'s Tip of the Week

Dry-Dropper season is here as the most available food at the surface shifts from adult aquatic insects to terrestial insects. Below, nymphs will still make up the greatest percentage of available food for trout. This makes the Dry-Dropper setup ideal for this time of year. Knot a boyant terrestial immitation to your leader. Next knot a length of fine fluorocarbon tippet (3' is a good) to the bend of the terrestrial's hook. Finally, tie a smaller nymph of your choice to the free end of tippet. Give your cast a "tuck" as the line straightens out on the forward cast to send the nymph down through the water's surface before the dry fly lands.

5-Day Outlook as of 7/24/25

The rain keeps coming just when we need it, brining color, level, and cool to the river. If you're not already, make sure to bring and use your thermometer everytime you go out. If you're getting readings above 65 degrees, find a cooler stretch upstream or call it a day.

Techniques & Tips as of 7/24/25

Dry-Dropper presentations along the bank or near any available structure. Swinging mice or streamers at night.

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.
