Snow has already fallen in the hills and this high elevation lake will soon be inaccessible. The Brookies should be starting to get into their spawning colors, with the males darkening in the back and the bellies turning blaze orange. There may not be a prettier fish. The area around the boat ramp and in the back channel is where you should see the most brook trout. The Atlantic Salmon should be cruising a bit more, so covering water is a better bet for them. The Brookies require a bit more patience and a bit more stealth and natural presentations. Bright and flashy works way better for the bright and flashy fish than for these old brookies. Damsel Nymphs, drab buggers w/ little flash and no bead usually will outproduce for the Brookies. In the evenings any dark caddis, ant or beetle should get some looks on the surface. The best part about the cool weather.....NO MOSQUITOES!
