Pretty good fishing especially when you consider that we had nothing for an hour in the beginning and a half hour at the end. All of the fish were caught in an area of les than an acre and I believe that the water temperature played a huge part in the fishing as the water slowly warmed it got better and when the sky clouded over at around 2:30 it shut off like someone had thrown a switch. All of the fish were taken on stick baits with the bass coming on orange and the trout on orange or silver. We had three or four bass follow the bait to the boat and either not take or miss the bait two of those were large maybe 4 pounds or better.

I am guiding a fly fisherman today on the St. George and don't expect to do nearly as well but who knows. This fishing in November is pretty new territory to me; in fact I am having trouble adjusting to not loading dogs and putting on hunter orange.
