Water cooling down

[Threedayweekend]

This is the time of year that I always have a lot of trouble catching fish. I do not know if it is my presentation, the type of flies I use, or what. I normally fish with a floating line with a about a 12 foot leader. Most of the time I use subsurface flies with a lot of legs or go to small like a coper john. Any help would be of great help.


Thanks in advance

You might try a nymph fished very slowly. When the water gets colder the fish slow down.
What are you fishing for? What sort of water are you fishing in?

I am mainly fishing for panfish and large mouth bass in ponds from the shore

I checked your profile and may have spotted the problem. Are you using orange and purple flies?

Slow it down! Nymphs under an indicator will catch fish well into the fall and winter.

I agree with Zach. Using an indicator to help present slowly will work great for bluegills and crappies. I like using 1/80th oz micro jigs under the indicator.

Jason,

What are you trying to catch, and are you fishing in a lake, pond, or river?

With that information, maybe I can help a bit.
