Fall has
arrived at the 60th parallel, the birch trees show this in a new yellow
cloak.
Geese are high in the skies riding north winds and water temps are dropping. This is a
time of year you can key in on water temps and fish movements to score big time.
As temps drop in the 50Fs whitefish and ciscos collect on windy shorelines or
inflow/outflow in preparation for the spawn.
A couple days ago we did just this at the outflow of a medium sized lake.
Large pike and trout were stacked in 5' of water and looking for big meals.
Large herring and whitefish patterned flies (6" or larger) elicited vicious strikes
from these predators. Working baits fast was key.
