Fall Brings Fine Fishing
By Dan Dannenmueller, Publisher
Wow, fall is upon us!!! I just don’t know where this year has gone.
Interestingly, we are already seeing the temperatures change, and we are finally getting some very much needed rain. This signals to every living thing that it must change with the weather, and that means the catfish bite is going to be improving!
With all the heat this summer, many fish and animals have been lethargic at best. Couple this with low rainfall and low water flow in many areas and it leads to low oxygen levels. It is no wonder the fish were not moving much.
To help put their plight in human terms, when you travel up a mountain to higher altitudes—perhaps to find cooler temperatures—the oxygen content in the air becomes lower and we must breathe harder to get enough oxygen into our lungs and eventually to our organs. We feel stressed, tired and don’t feel like moving much or fast. We also eat less.
