Timber Coulee Creek flows on the east of the town of Coon Valley in driftless area, coulee counties in the southwest Wisconsin.
When sprinkle turned to real rain, I had been already rambling along the stream for more than three hours without any luck.
My hands were getting colder and colder. Two hours driving for nothing? As often happens with me, but I didn't like that.
One more hour. I went back to the pool under the shoulder of CTH P where I parked my car.
I picked up a cased-caddis larva imitation from my fly box. It didn't look like natural one but it was my last hope.
I caught a small brown. It was really small but it's much better than nothing. I caught another brown with the same fly.
This one was skinny fourteen inches long. And I caught one more brown. It's small again. That's enough. I had to leave here before I caught a cold.
