As I made my morning run I couldn't help but notice how cold it was. I certainly should have put on some chap stick that's for sure. When My run was completed I checked the temperature and it was in the low twenties.
This made me think of the trout fishing and how slow it has become in the past few days. When the temperatures begin dropping to these levels for the first time in many months, the trout can get "lock jaw" for a little while. Seeing as how trout are cold blooded creatures, when colder temperatures initially happen each year it can really slow down their metabolism, causing them to feed much less often.
One good thing about these colder temperatures is the fact that often times a week or two of "Indian summer" happens sometime in November and the trout feed very heavily during these warmer period. Kind of one last "horrah" for the year as they stock up on calories before the colder temperatures set in for the winter.
Here's to hoping that we get an Indian Summer some time in the next four weeks, so we as anglers can have one last "horrah" as well?
