Fall fishing is heating up: Lake of the Woods walleye are still hitting cranks with a jig bite looming, and Orleans County's king salmon action at the dam is running strong for September. California's Trinity River is holding both salmon and steelhead. Meanwhile, a wave of fresh gear coverage and online outdoor shop launches is hitting just in time for shoulder-season trips.

Fishing Report

Walleye waters at Lake of the Woods
Walleye waters at Lake of the Woods
At Minnesota's Lake of the Woods, crankbaits and spinner rigs are still the top producers, but anglers note the jig bite is "waiting in the wings" — meaning it's time to keep both presentations rigged.

New York salmon waters

In Orleans County, New York, action at the dam for king salmon and some browns has been good — "especially by September standards," a promising sign for the Lake Ontario tributary run.

Out west, California's Trinity River is holding both salmon and steelhead right now. Summer steelhead have been building over the past couple of weeks, with good numbers of half-pounders in the middle river and some fish up to 22 inches.

On the Delmarva coast, an unusually long northeast storm is expected to linger for about a week through the full moon instead of the typical one-to-two-day transition — anglers should prepare for building high tides and rough surf conditions.

Maine's fisheries biologists have posted their regional September reports, highlighting seasonal patterns and recommended waters, with September conditions varying significantly by weather, water temperatures, and stream flows.
