October 3rd Fishing Report

Sunny, with a high near 88. Southwest wind 5 to 8 mph.
The heat is on. It will be uncomfortably warm out there this afternoon. Focus on fishing early in the day, and avoiding the later afternoon. This heat wave will end early next week.
The weekend outlook is for more heat on Saturday, than warm on Sunday. The sunny weather also means fish will be a bit spooky.
. Silver lining time. We have seen a slight return of trico spinners on some of our creeks early in the day. If no fish are rising early, fishing larger sized bead head nymphs under an indicator, then switching to hopper dropper from about 9-1.
The last hour or two of the evening could have some fish rising to olives.
Remember season closes after the 15th of this month! It can be busy this time of year, so please remember to check in with other anglers and give each other lots of space. There is a lot of water out there! Do not hop in above another angler and cut them off.
Remember not to block gates, driveways or access roads. Be careful of farm equipment out there, it’s harvest time!
