As the season advances fly fishing improves but June usually finds the bass busy with family affairs and they should not be bothered even if the law permits. July is usually a good month on all streams and on the larger ones this month and August often produce best of all — and just when the lakes are yielding least. Very low water, however, often drives the fish into the holes on small streams during the " dog days."
September, the month Eastern and Midwest trout fishermen close up shop, is usually excellent except the week of the equinoctial storm. October — brown October — also yields well, and the seasons we have " a late Fall" fishing continues good even well into November. Local conditions also must be considered.
