The Landing Net by Darl Black

With heavy rain last week, the past weekend was a blow out on French Creek, Allegheny
River and the Lake Erie tributaries. Even the lakes were wind swept and difficult to fish.
But when things settle over the next few days, we
will discover the water temperature is finally down
into the 50s and gamefish are in a positive fall feed-
ing mode. We still have the month of November and
some of December to enjoy a fantastic open-water
bite for your favorite species. Normally we don’t
have safe ice until January, but there is speculation
that snow may come early to NW PA this year. Enjoy
the fall now – Go Fish!
