It does slow as cold water takes over but as an avid flyfisher we
know how to fish the thermoclines. A slow sinking tip on a tapered leader can get you down into the zone.
The Blue Gills will only change from top feeding to going down
to the 24 to 48 inch below surface level.
Although it is "Un Purist" in the fly fishing aspect, some people do
better with a little scent or sweetner on the fly.
Cold weather is the time that bait fishers use Waxworms.
I have fished baited and also with white mylar wrapped flies and
found hardly any difference with the hit rate of the fish on the fly.
You can get a decent lake map from Google Maps.
The East dock is still the better fishing side for Gills. [cool]
