The cold front from late last week was harsh. Wearing socks let alone ice fishing gear in September is not my idea of fun. The water temperature dropped about 13 degrees in just four days. Surprisingly the bite did not slow all that much considering. Fishing is really good right now and getting better every day. The water levels are stable as is the temperature now. With the warm forecast ahead, things should really get good.
Fish are in the mid river holes near the main current. It seems the faster water the better. There are two patterns going right now. Deeper water and sitting 25-30 minutes or fish the more shallow fast water with shorter sits playing the if they are there, they will bite game with 15-minute sits. Most spots are one or two fish and move on.
Dead sucker is my go to again. I have caught a few on frog and even garlic, Jell-o chicken.
September fishing still looks great after this big front is finished. I have many dates available to take advantage of this.
