I've found that late fall is becoming one of my favorite times of the year to fish the Smokies. I consider late fall to be from the first of November until the winter solstice. While the trout fishing in late fall may not provide the largest number of fish, I've found that fishing this time of year offers decent fishing with some additional benefits.
Kettle Creek is a large freestone tributary of the West Branch Susquehanna River in north central Pennsylvania and is considered to be one of the better trout streams in Pennsylvania. Kettle Creek has over 60 miles of class A water and approximately 20 of those miles of the lower section is stocked by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission.
North Carolina's Delayed Harvest streams have been fishing well recently (when not flooded), as we've enjoyed a warm fall. Stone Mountain's Delayed Harvest streams were chock full of eager, nice sized trout for our Black Friday trout fishing excursion.
The Chattahoochee River consists of 48 river miles of designated trout water in a park managed by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources and the National Park Service. The rich cold waters that feed the Hooch, as it is called by the locals, provide a great environment for brown trout and the best part is that it so close to the metropolitan area of Atlanta, Georgia.
Michigan DNR is looking into making some necessary changes to the regulations as they relate to the Muskegon River. Over the years, the river has seen a great deal of pressure and illegal activities. In some cases chumming with enormous amounts of eggs has been practiced by some anglers. After chumming, they fish by dragging beads through the water. This hardly seems like a sporting event! There are other issues as well and they have been addressed by the Michigan DNR who held a meeting last night.
Bad news out of Ogden: Our biologists believe there is a breeding population of snapping turtles in the lower Weber River. Snapping turtles are relatively new to the area and are not native to Utah; they can be very aggressive and dangerous to people, so be careful, and do not approach them. If you see a snapping turtle in this area, please call 801-476-2740.
We had an angler contact us at Troutprostore and he wanted a hatch chart for a particular state. That is a good question and it is often asked. However, it is a difficult question to answer due to the wide variety of the water. Even the water within a particular stream will vary affecting the aquatic insect population. For example, hatches vary with respect to the water temperature, at higher elevations, the hatch occurs several days in advance of the hatches in the lower elevations.
