Guest Lodge at Westby House B&B

You know Spring is coming in the La C rosse area when the Guest Lodge at the Westby House B&B comes out of winter hiatus. Reservations can be made for overnight stays in the Pinewood and Scandia Rooms starting April 1, 2010.  Located close to Viroqua, the Guest Lodge is ideal for the fly-fisher, the outdoors enthusiast, or someone looking for a “Refined Touch of Rustic in the City”.  The spiral stairs lead to an open loft bedroom area. While the first floor offers a mini-kitchenette with small appliances and dishes, sitting area, dining area, and full bath.  The private outdoor entrance and in-room continental breakfast add to the seclusion from the Main House accommodations.  Single rates and double rates are offered in the Guest Lodge. A happy Spring will bring May flowers!

Driftless Area – March 6th, 2010
  • Recorded:
  • Mostly sunny
  • 45 ° F
  • Fishing: Good
Great winter fishing conditions.  The water is still clear, the sun will be shining all day, and bugs will start getting active around 11:00 today.  Look for rising fish between 11 and 3 to winter stoneflies and midges.
Fish sub surface with bottom rolling patterns and slowly pulled leeches.  Most fish will be at the bottom of pools in the morning and evening, sliding up into the flats below riffles to feed in the afternoon.
