I’m sure , that it’s safe to say that Fall is here. One thing I’ve had to get used to since moving to the Ozarks, is that Fall shows up when it’s supposed to . Being from the Deep South… you were lucky to see it.

We’re starting to see the leaves change slightly. Our morning temps have been in the low to mid 40’s, with afternoons from upper 60’s to low 70’s. This pattern will most likely hold for 8 weeks or so. We are seeing some light generation of water, somtimes part of the day, sometimes all day.. just enough to keep the drift going and the lake clean. 

Well the title says Fall Fishing, one thing that irritates me about fishing reports is getting a weather and water report.. I know they are related, but if you wanted to see water or weather, you would have gone to another site…

We are seeing moderate catches in quantity. About 50% of the catch right now seems to smaller “Federal” hatchery fish….  So if you’re a catch and eat guy like me, you’ll have to wade through some small ones to get the ones you want to eat. I would expect we’ll see an improvement in the next several weeks.

Everyone asks me if the Browns are running yet, we see Browns every week, but not what we hope to see in the next 4 weeks. Talking to MDC at the Hatchery, they hope to see a good brown run as well, and will keep you posted as the weeks go by.

Jigs, Spoons, Cranks, Night Crawlers and Gulp (Powerbait) are all catching fish…. colors will vary by day, but just about every way a person likes to go after the trout, you should do fine.

I will post again next weeek… call with your fall reservations, and we’ll get you fixed up.

Have a great day on the lake…

Lamar
