Water levels are normal for this time of year, but weeds still are impacting fishing access for shoreline anglers. Better fishing opportunity will be from float tube, kayak, etc. to reach the cooler and weed-free water. Water temps are dropping into the 60s, which means trout fishing is beginning to pick back up. Trout are expected to measure up to 18″. Try small Panther Martins and Mepps, worms or your favorite PowerBait. Wetflies are working well for fly rodders. Bass and catfish catch rates are still good, but will begin to drop off quickly with the cooler weather.
