Water Conditions:The lake is very close to full and the extra water means that it is easier to fish with the extra weeds that have developed over the summer months.

Fishing Conditions & Hatches:The shorter days and cooler weather will help to knock the weeds back as well. This is worth looking at if you are in the mood for some lake fishing and solitude in the next couple of weeks.
