Fall fishing opportunities are rapidly kicking into gear. Fall is highly regarded as the best fishing of the year.

Schools are back in session and many visitors have returned home, leaving a lot less pressure on fish and fishing spots. Fall is considered by many to be the best time of year to fish.

Things have slowed slightly in some areas and heated up in others. A day’s fishing is very weather dependent lately. Cooler nights can slow some fishing down for a day or so and heat other fishing up.

Stripers, lake trout, and salmon are hot in this week’s report. Late August is a great time for trolling landlocked salmon, as thermoclines are predictable and keep fish consolidated just below.

It has been a great summer of fishing so far. Recent rains have had their impacts, but not like last summer. From all accounts, anglers are happy and doing well.

Can you believe it is already August? Summer is flying by, but the fishing remains strong on all fronts.
