JD:
Sorry to hear about the layoff… When I was younger, I concentrated on almost every steream between the Miss and Madison from Hwy 18/151 north to Richland Center and further west. Those larger streams you mentioned would be good starters, if too dark moving to the smaller streams. Unfortunately, both brothers were busy, so I stayed close to home rather than trying anything good (like fishing). I went over a smaller trout stream on the way down, and it was running clear, though most of the water in the Madison area was running high. I am sure if we had gotten out, we could have found something. But thanks for the eyes in the SW!!!
