Leaves are in the early stages of turning. With the dry conditions lately, they could go in a hurry if we get some wind, which we’ve had pretty much every day. Another sign of fall—the deer are getting darker.

yea i noticed that as my time up there went by.........they also moved up the fire danger from LOW to Moderate!!!!!

[fishwidow]

Yep. Really dry.

Lake levels have dropped a lot since mid summer.

[Gunner55]

The lids of recycling cans were wet as was the lid to the burn barrel, but I didn't find much in our gauges. So, I checked the neighbor's digital 1 & he had .03".

[Gunner55]

Had 3 right away , then nothin for ~ 20 minutes. Then about 10-15 minutes before sunrise a little WNW breeze picked up for a bit & I got 4 more. Had 7 total when I got back to the dock. The biggest & the 2 smallest went back, so I kept 4.

[Gunner55]

Went out a little after 9 & found only a couple others out there. There must've been 8-10 by the time I came back in though. I had some fun with a 19" smallmouth on my 1st pass as he made 4-5 strong runs, good thing I had my drag set pretty light. He went back, then on the next to last pass I caught a 15" walleye. That 1 didn't go back. Sure was nice out there. Need to move the lift again as the lake is down another 3" since we moved it a couple weeks ago.

Gunner......has the water temp dropped much yet???/

[Gunner55]

No, I still had a bit over 68 when I came in Thursday AM. Probably has went up from there too, I would guess.

[glenn57]

judging by the webcams up there, leaves seem pretty green yet??? has any of the underbrush dropped/ thinned out. 

[fishwidow]

Starting to turn, but still mostly green. I expect they’ll start to change pretty quickly in the next week or so.

[Gunner55]

Had 68 for surface temp this morning again too. Quite a few leaves came down along our drive today & Friday too, when there's been some wind. Our maple up by the garage is a little more red every day. There could be a bunch down before the colors really get going IMO.

[Gunner55]

It looked like it was snowing leaves 5 or 6 times yday, as so many were all coming down at once with that wind. We moved the lift out so only the front 1/2 of it is alongside the last 4' of dock. The wind was SW yet when we finished, ~2:30, but by 3:30 it'd went to the west, & by 5 it'd went NW. The temp had dropped 10 degrees by then too. Just shorts & the top to an old pair of long johns for me when we moved the lift & I didn't think the water was cold at all.
