October Bass Fly Special

October Bass Fly Special: Premium Flies for Fall Smallmouth Bass As October arrives, falling water temperatures and shorter days trigger a dramatic shift in smallmouth bass behavior. Cooler nights—sometimes dropping water temperatures by up to eight degrees—signal to trophy bass that it’s time to feed aggressively before winter. Unlike the early morning and late evening bites typical of summer, mid-to-late October provides outstanding, all-day fly fishing opportunities. Larger smallmouth bass move out of deeper summer runs into accessible feeding zones throughout the day, becoming increasingly aggressive until water temperatures drop into the upper 50s. To help you make the most of this autumn feeding frenzy, we’ve put together our recommended October Smallmouth Bass Fly Assortment.
