Yup, what 'thmyorke1' said. Wait till after this heat wave is over and we get some rain to put a bit of water back in the creeks. After the heat passes and we get some precip you can still hit up many of the WTS's, particularly in the early AM while they're still cool from the overnights. The same applies to a few of the larger waters that tend to run cooler. The middle to lower Musky has a good deal of limestone influence which usually keeps it running cooler than most of the other large streams. Likewise the upper to middle Flatbrook through the C&R section will hold fish and run fairly cool unless we get into a pretty drastic drought situation as happened a few years back. Otherwise it's a great time to chase smallies and they are one hard fighting fish in the streams and rivers! Good luck! An afterthought, it pays to carry a stream thermometer if you do intend to chase trout. Water temps of 70 and above are generally a 'no-go' unless you intend to keep all you catch.
