Brett's_daddy Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 I know I just checked the current recorded temperature on Lake Champlain near where I live in Vermont and they said it's 59 degrees which is prime Fall transition temps. Some of the smaller lakes and ponds are a couple degrees cooler at around 57 - 58 degrees. It saddens me a little as I realize we only have about 1 to 1-1/2 months of fishing left where I live before it's too cold and the fish will be all out deep in their winter homes and there's possibly skim coatings of ice reported. 1 Quote
Super User scaleface Posted October 8, 2018 Super User Posted October 8, 2018 The surface temperature changes throughout the day . There can be a 10 degree difference in just a few hours . 1 Quote
Super User Paul Roberts Posted October 9, 2018 Super User Posted October 9, 2018 I was planning to shoot a video on a fall pattern I enjoy, but a serious cold front, with snow, has rolled in, and is just sitting on us. The bummer is that it won't come around again until next year. Maybe I'll get lucky, next week, and catch a piece of it yet. But I think the slide has begun. 2 Quote

We're stuck in the 80s. No fall yet! 1 Quote

Just not the transition window I was anticipating. Seems like it was just in the 90s here. Too much going on here to stay in touch. Can't wait to retire. Quote
Super User Paul Roberts Posted October 10, 2018 Super User Posted October 10, 2018 OoooK... Snow continues. I measured a pond yesterday: 52F top to bottom (9ft). Front supposed to sit here for another couple days. That ought to drop my ponds into the upper 40s. That's "winter" temps! I wonder how long my waters were in the 60deg range this fall? A week? Doubt there's much going back now. Will be interesting to see how much that low angle sun can heat things back up, when it does reappear. Quote
Super User NHBull Posted October 10, 2018 Super User Posted October 10, 2018 Surface Temps here in Central NH is 60. Today, got Skunked! I should heve spent a couple hours looking for bait. This Fall pattern is driving me crazy 1 Quote
