Winter fly fishing on April

Today I meet up with several other members of the St. Paul Fly Tiers for breakfast in Ellsworth, Wisconsin. This was for our April outing. This year is different than others as it was snowing and 30 degrees F. On the way the the restaurant road conditions got really bad for a few miles in River Falls. There was a couple mile stretch that had several cars in the ditch and top speed you could safely travel was 30 mph. After getting through River Falls the roads improved.
There was 3 other crazy guys like me who still wanted to fish in the poor weather. After breakfast we went to the Rush River. It was crystal clear an 41 degrees F. We started at Stonehammer and went upstream. I found that a Tup's Indispensable was the best fly today. It snowed, rained and sleeted during the day and there was no visible hatch, but there were a few fish that were surfacing. I only caught brown trout today as the Brookies were shy. Even with the bad weather it was nice to catch a handful of trout.
