Water temps have come down into the 50s and aquatic vegetation is still impacting fishing access for shoreline anglers. Better fishing opportunity will 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 are dropping off with the cooler weather.
