Fall Pattern??

[Langer]

Has the Fall pattern begun?  Are the fish moving shallow now to feed?  Whats the water temp typically when this begins?
Thanks,

It's generally about when the majority of the leaves begin to change.  I haven't noticed a particular water temprature that makes it turn on, I've seen it in so many  conditions.  I think it has a lot to do with the shorter daylight, but I just use the leaves.

Do you t rig or use the leaves weightless?

It is usually a safe bet to start your fall type fishing when the water temps drop and stay about 5 or 6 degrees from the summer peak temp.

Works for me.

It might start a little slow, but as the water temps drop a degree or two more, it will really pick up.

Kent Lake was 62 on Friday.  Caught a few good ones out there.  Missed a real good one on a buzzbait in the back of a cove.  Lots of minnow activity right now.  The big ones are on the feed, we just didnt find them fast enough.

I spent Thursday and Friday on Hardy Pond and couldn't put a bass in the boat!  I looked every where on that lake and could not find a bass.  If you want to catch Pike it is a great place to be right now.
