With the beautiful weather we're having and great fishing, what more can you ask for.

The surface water temperatures have dropped into the middle 60s. There are huge midge hatches all day long. That is now the target food for the fish, so fishing with midges is the ticket. Double-digit mornings with Crowley slams are common now in the fall months.

The best places right now are McGee Bay and anywhere in the north arm from Layton Springs to Green Banks and the channel. Fish depths anywhere from 8 to 15 ft.

All the common midge patterns for Crowley are working, such as albinos, copper tigers and zebras. Even black and gray midges in the middle of the day. In other words try different patterns till you see what works for that time of day and even that day.

Fall is one of the best times to fish Crowley. Highly recommended to plan a trip up here for some great trophy trout fishing.
