Fishing Highlights:
The leaves are almost gone and elk are bugling more than ever! The day started off a little chilly but the fish did not seem to mind that much. We were throwing small bugs to large fish all day long. This was a beautiful day of fall fishing.The fishing is good. Partly Cloudy skies and 48-51 degree weather. The water temperature was between 36-39 degrees and Crystal Clear.
