Yesterday’s temps in the 2 streams I fished were good but water levels low, so stealthy approaches are necessary to get hits .
Also many fish I feel regardless of water temp etc just need to acclimate to the new surroundings and may be off feed for awhile . This I know to be true since months from now I always get bigger fish , thru winter months .
Good assessment. I've seen much of the same. By Thanksgiving time they will be more apt to be caught than now.

Father and I hit pequest today, both had off. Saw trout in one hole that would not take. Dad got sort of upset with how low it was and agreed the fresh-truch fish wouldnt take. We stopped at lamington and caught smallies although the action was pretty low compared to summer trips. Leaves werent too bad.

IMO the water temp, air temp, and angling pressure will all determine if the fall stockies bite. With the low, clear water this fall, it’s not going to be a good, steady bite for awhile. Early morning will produce best. Not to hijack the thread, but I had some success on the upper nbr yesterday afternoon. 6 wild browns, 1 fall stockie rainbow and some small lmb and smb. For the most part, the fish you don’t see are the ones that will bite. I saw fresh rainbows swimming through 6” deep riffles. The water is very low.

Agree, and Nice with the wild browns, Ive caught holdover trout in the upper NB but never a wild one.
