Just like that, summer is over. Earlier this week, I saw a graph of the streamflow on Little River that went back several years. I noticed that, basically every year, we end up with the lowest water of the year in September. That is normal. Thankfully it looks like we are just about out of the woods.
Some rain fell across the Park yesterday and more should fall both today through Saturday. Amounts are not overly impressive, at least not yet. As low as the streams were getting though anything will help. Best of all we will see highs in the 60s and 70s and lows down well into the 50s for this next week. An early cool snap to kick off the fall season will get both fish and fishermen in the mood for the great fishing coming up over the next two months.
In the meantime, after guide trips through next Wednesday, I'm off for the land of Yellowstone. I have always dreamed of a trip taken in the autumn, and while I would love to stay all the way to the closing weekend for fishing in early November, I'll instead be heading back to Tennessee to take people fishing through our own fantastic fall fishing season. Don't worry, I'll be getting out to fish for myself a lot as well.
If you haven't booked your guide trip for fall, don't wait too much longer. Prime dates are filling fast and I'm booked solid until October 14. Call/text me at (931) 261-1884 or email me at TroutZoneAnglers@gmail.com to book. The fishing should be good through at least the end of October and quite possibly well into November depending on how soon we get the first major cold snap.
It's kind of hard to think Fall is here when it's 102 degrees outside. Send some our way.
ReplyDeleteMark, hopefully this will be the fall and winter that the weather pattern finally shifts and you guys get some water!
DeleteWow, I must have misunderstood. I thought I won an all expense paid trip to Yellowstone with you?
ReplyDeleteHoward, sorry but I think you missed the fine print. Here is the blown up version: "Round trip travel to and from Yellowstone not included. Licenses, flies, and equipment not included. Food and beverages not included. Trip only includes camping space in a Yellowstone campground." Seriously though, what's a short drive up to Yellowstone? Come up and fish! Unless I see major changes in life between now and then, next fall will feature Colorado so stay tuned for that.
DeleteGood luck out west. A friend of mine is Yellowstone bound too, leaving on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like a good time to be going other than the low water across the area.
