NCF Fall Fishing

Posted By Kent Klewein on August 31, 2010

Noontootla Creek Farms (NCF) in the fall brings spectacular fishing every year. We catch big numbers and lots of trophy size trout during this time of year. The fish generally are coming out of a nice break of fishing pressure from the month of August shutdown, and the dropping water temperatures get the fish happy and more active. This means screaming reels from hot runs and lots of jumping trout. Best of all, we’re still able to fish big nasty terrestrial dry flies throughout the remainder of September, and sometimes a good ways into October.

One problem clients find when they’re trying to book for the great fall fishing at NCF is that they don’t book far enough in advance. Anglers need to understand they’re not the only ones trying to get rid of their August trout fishing sorrows. To ensure your target fishing dates are available you need to be calling now to reserve your spot.

So what should you expect to be fishing during the fall at NCF? We generally start with big dry flies when we first approach a hole. Then after we land a fish we’ll then switch to a streamer or nymph rig to mop up the remaining willing trout. There’s really no better time of year than the fall for anglers to catch fish on dries, nymphs, and streamers. The spring is great, but you won’t find the dry fly fishing comparable. Remember, the trout sense the winter approaching and in turn, they increase their feeding to build fat reserves for the upcoming spawn and winter months.

So take it from the Reel Job Fishing staff, if your looking for a great time to fish NCF, the fall is the season you want to be on the stream. Our close proximity to NCF allows us unmatched monitoring of the fishing conditions from our competitors. In other-words, we know what bugs are on the menu, and what sections are fishing the best day to day.
