Ok so here it is the end of September and hopefully the last Hot day of the year which means it's now Fall fishing season!!! So what I'm going to try and do is report back here with our results of fall fishing on my "home base lake" which is Long Lake (Lake Spokane) here in Nine Mile Falls.
Early season on the lake was very productive for Smallies with an average of 6 to 8 fish caught on our evening outing's. Weights of the fish ran from 2 to 5 pounds with most being caught on regular white bass spinner baits with a single Colorado blade or Willow blade. Water temps then were in the mid to high 60's and the fish were caught up tight to the beach walls and docks. Water temps rose in mid summer and the weeds came up really thick this year which pushed the fish out to deeper cooler water thus the end of fishing due to the high boat traffic on the lake in the areas were the fish went. Not to mention it's tough to fish in the summer heat!!
So the plan is to hit the lake Sunday with a front coming in that may bring some rain later in the day. This should be promising.
Here's some pic's from earlier this summer.
I'll be back with a report from our next outing.
