Well the old saying wind from the East fish bite the least did not hold too much water tonight. Overall I would have had to rate the fishing as good tonight. The largest walleye I caught dam near tore the pole out of my hands, it hit with such ferocity. The smallie I caught was definitely a chunk and the largest of the season.
As far as the fall colors are concerned I would have to say we are a few days past the peak. The ash and walnut trees are barren. However the maples and the oaks are very vibrant, but they are rapidly losing their leaves.
