Yup, tho the nite bite for wallys remains decent with the cooling weather, trout are now best daylight opportunity out here in middle America. Ruff country river treks continue to produce chunkies, today 3 in the 8-10# class.
Luckily, landowners graciously continue to allow me private riverfront access being respectful not to intrude when hunters are present. It helps that each cold water season I personally visit landowners to renew permission and offer them a token of appreciation.
Less pressured fish aren't particular, and switching jigs for variety most everything gets bit, today my most obscure never used in awhile 2" Powerbait Ripple Shad black back gold glitter under body on a 1/15 oz #2 hook head. Last trip a 2" broken off tail section of a pink 3" Gulp Minnow on a 1/16 #4 round head scored 4 nice nice ones.
Exploring beyond the stocker ponds has been a pleasant surprise here.
