Weekly Fishing Report: Oct. 14, 2024
By GEORGE MORSE
Sports and Outdoors
Los Alamos Daily Post
Weather forecasts for this winter indicate a La Nina, a cooler Pacific current, affecting the weather. So far this has been the case with dry conditions and warmer-than-normal temperatures this fall. Streamflows are running well-below normal for this time of year. They make for good fishing, but the low water requires a stealthy approach and accurate casts. Fly fishing is often excellent this time of year.
The wild brown trout and brook trout are spawning this time of year. They will develop deeper colors and become more aggressive.
