Wisconsin Driftless?

[Scuba Steve]

Anybody ever been to the driftless? Any trout people on here? Care to share an experience?

Tons of water, tons of fish (thousands per mile in some cases), and lots of access.

 

I'd stop in one of the fly shops in the area to find out what's working right now (though it's hopper season, so you've got that in your favor), buy a buncha flies, and then go hit the water.

...map out your thoughts, then run it by the them.  They won't hotspot any places, but if you've done some home work and ask, "What about here?" they'll likely give you "yea or nay" feedback.

 

I have heard that The Driftless Angler is a good shop, though i've only been there once, and can personally recommend Brian Smolinski at Lund's fly shop in River Falls: https://www.lundsflyshop.com/

 

Brian is a multi-species angler living in a town with two of the best trout rives in WI (and dozens of smaller creeks and streams) within a very short drive.
