Water temps have dropped into the 40s and water levels are increasing. Shoreline weeds are still present but dying off. Better fishing opportunity will still be from float tube, kayak, etc. to reach the cooler and weed-free water. Trout are expected to measure up to 18″. Try small Panther Martins and Mepps, worms or your favorite PowerBait. Streamers and leeches are the go-to for fly anglers. Bass and catfish catch rates have dropped off with the cooler weather.
