Where in Wisconsin are you? The driftless region is south west and south Wisconsin, southeast Minnesota, and a little bit of Iowa and Illinois. Just about every river and stream settled in the bluffs of southern Wisconsin hold trout.

If you're near the Viroqua area, head in to Driftless Anglers and ask some questions. If you're full on trying to DYI it's tough to just give out spots, especially since most of the spots I know are closer to Minneapolis. I'd suggest checking out the DNR website. They have a lot of info on trout holding streams in Wisconsin. I also really like this book when I'm trying new water: https://www.amazon.com/Trout-Streams-Wisconsin-Minnesota-Anglers/dp/0881504971/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=VSAE87TJYT46SHGYKW55

Finding spots and flies that work will fall primarily on you getting out there though. I think someone came out with an App that pulls all the DNR trout streams and access points for MN and WI but I will need to see if I can find it.

The best thing about Wisconsin is the access laws. Any bridge crossing is an access point and as long as your feet stay wet (or as long as you stay below the high water line) you're in the clear!

I have a book called Trout Streams of Wisconsin and Minnesota that I look into occasionally, but you can also look on the DNR website for streams that hold trout.

When nymphing my presentation is almost always the same -- get the fly to the bottom and have a drag-free drift. I'm hoping to do a video on beginner nymphing tactics within the next couple weeks too.

When fish are rising I'll try to catch a fly in my hat to better identify it and it's size. Insect hatches change throughout the season. A drag free drift is probably even more important when dry fly fishing.

I have a blog that I update after pretty much every outing. I discuss stream conditions, hatches, flies used, etc. It's also beneficial to visit your local fly shop to get good intel on the area streams.

Hope this helps!
