[#0000FF]Fishing for Utah Lake cats is as good right now as it is likely to get. With water temps at 65 the cats are active, they're feeding and they fight well. As the water cools they will slow down. They will keep biting clear up to iceup, but they are harder to find and you don't catch as many. Also, when you hook the "cool cats" they tend to just roll a lot rather than zing your string.
October has traditionally been the month I have caught most of my bigger cats. The water is getting down into the 50's and big cats are more likely to move around and feed after a warm day has raised the water temp a couple of degrees.
With this extremely low water it is going to be just about impossible for bank tanglers to find water deep enough to hold cats as the water temps keep falling.
If we don't get snow-kissed by El Nino this winter we might all have to put away our fishing gear.
