September starts.

The trout are getting ready for winter. That means it's an ideal time to head up into the hills with your fly rod and a box of your favorite flies.

When it's sunny, I like to use yellow wooly worms with a red-tipped tail. I had one fantastic day last year in September - with my uncle - where we landed 15 fish in less than 3 hours. Each.

He, being of a different generation, kept most of his. Mine all went back into the lake to fight another day.

Fly fishing in September.

This is a great time to fish. Especially if you're a beginner. The fish are hungry and aggressive. You have less competition on the lake, and some of the best weather of the year. Usually!

Another favorite fly this time of year is the maroon leech. Or any dark color. The maroon works in the tea colored lakes around here really well. From the shore or from some sort of floating device like a boat.

Fishing boats, belly boats, pontoon boats - they all serve one purpose... to get you on the water. So, if you're looking for some spectacular action, go fish in September.

That's where I'm going!
