Default Re: November F&G Council meeting:

Water extremely low this fall , covering miles of streams is a lesson in futility , due to these water conditions .
This fall I barely got out in October this year, due to water conditions November it got better , December soild fishing returned . However water levels are still very low & fish holding areas somewhat limited .
Now water temps are dropping rapidly adding to slower trouting overall & bait fishing getting the nod on most days.
What concerned me was lack of fish in holding water that was receptive to me the last several years , not sure why , maybe less fish stocked this fall in particular waters ?
I'm averaging 4-6 fish a day now but very concentrated fishing , nothing for long spans of the stream that exhibit decent holding water . Nice fish to 20"'s but no big girls !
I haven't landed a fish over 5#'s in over a year first time in 5 years I haven't taken several in one year .
So I'm just concerned about lack of fish being water related from onset so only time will tell if it's me or some other reason.
