Brook Trout Fishing Reports (November 2024)

this is the Lake Saint Clair report starting with the perch fish fishing and the lakes Saint Clair near did Detroit river has been exceptionally good lots of big fish and lots of them. A lot of the water is Canadian, but some of them are catches are coming on the American side. The musky fishing has been good over the Thames river . I don't do muskies like I used to do but do some casting up the south channel and have some pretty good luck with pike included . The wall. Fishing has picked up now we're getting some walleye. They're starting to show up. They're migrating back down from Lake Huron to Lake Erie and we're in there path so we're gonna be getting some good fishing it's gonna improve

The dog day of summer mean its time to escape the heat and head for the headwaters and small streams of North Georgia or the cooled tailwaters of the Chattahoochee River or Toccoa River. The dry fly bite has been excellent. Trout can be caught on a myriad of flies as all insects are present. Stoneflies, mayflies, caddis and terrestrial imitations will catch fish throughout the day. If you are out at an odd time when trout don't want to rise add a small/simple dropper fly below your dry. Majority of the hatching bugs are on the small end of the spectrum with some larger mayflies showing up in the evening. The Appalachian slam (brook, brown, and rainbow trout) is still very achievable on most days. Several customers have landed theirs on half day outings since June. Be sure to keep an eye on the weather as afternoon thunderstorms can pop up quickly. For me, lightning is a quick time out, but heavy winds can be scary under a dense canopy. Chattahoochee Tailwater Fly Fishing The tailwater below Lanier is still a good bet for a shorter day on the water. The normal patterns of midges and junk flies are still catching most of the trout. The recent rains we have had have thrown a bit of a curveball at the trout but with the right adjustments you can still do well. Bigger flies or small streamers have been fishing well in the lowlight hours. For a break in the trout action, bigger groups of bass than normal have also been gathering at the mouths of creeks once water levels in the feeder creeks reside.
