Stillwaters are slowing down and with the rivers fishing so well we don’t have many fresh reports on the lakes. We are fishing several lakes on large ranches that we have access to which can be productive with the nice autumn water temps. The dry fly gulper fishing is winding down on Hebgen and Ennis but some nice fish can turn up slow stripping streamers in the fall.
The Month Ahead:
By the late fall we shift focus to the fall run browns that are leaving the lakes.
Long Term Fishing Forecast:
Hunker down and wait until spring for the stillwaters, or get the ice fishing gear ready.
