Mount Vernon Creek

A textbook small Dane/Green County limestone spring run, tight and heavily weeded in summer with abundant watercress and a strong scud/sowbug forage base.

Weed growth concentrates fish into narrow lanes by mid-summer — read the seams.

Scuds, sowbugs, midges, ants, beetles and small BWOs are core patterns.
