Upper Tomorrow and Wolf River in Wisconsin

Paul Melchior and Dick Dragiewicz fished the Tomorrow and Wolf River in Wisconsin. Paul caught & released a nice brown trout. A small brookie was taken by Dick Dragiewicz while on the Little Wolf. They were able to witness a nice hex hatch on the upper Tomorrow River. Dick and local TU members worked to rehab a section of the Little Wolf stream.
