The Fall foliage is looking pretty spectacular in Pittsburg. It is not peak yet but it looks beautiful, and the last several days have been terrific.
The fishing in Pittsburg has been pretty good as of late. The Trophy Stretch has been producing some nice Landlocks, brookies and rainbows.
In the Fall you might want to fish many of the same patterns that you fish in the Spring. Think BWOs and Streamers, and Caddis too.
Streamers: Soft Hackle Streamer, White Woolybugger, Black Ghost, and a Muddler.
Nymphs and Emergers: BH Pheasant Tail, Jailbird, BH Prince, Serendipity, Hatching Pupa, Soft Hackle Pheasant Tail, Bloom’s Soft Hackle. Egg Patterns, and San Juan Worms.
Dries: Any BWO pattern, X-Caddis, Klinkhammer and a Orange Stimi (October Caddis, there are a few around).
We’ve heard good reports on the No-Kill of salmon and beautifully colored brookies , and some very healthy trout and salmon below Murphy Dam.
Back Lake has been producing some rainbows trolling a Golden Demon, a Wood Special or a Black Woolybugger.
The outer ponds are usually fun in the Fall too. We have boats on Coon Brook, Boundary and Terrell. The last I heard this week on the new dam at Scott’s Bog is that it is near completion.
We are definitely counting down the days now, and the weather forecast looks great for the coming week. We have some great Specials going on right now, so you might want to take advantage of cheaper rates, fantastic food and cherry drinks.
We promise not to tell if you call in sick to blow off a few days of work. Nothing will make you feel better then a little R & R at TTL.

Do you suppose the two fish above are talking about Tom?

Yup, we cleaned up on the outer ponds when we were there. Thanks so much for the great accomodations! Good luck with the new pup and the birds this Fall!
