As in October, waterboatman patterns and small damselfly imitations can catch trout early in the month. The former won't last much longer. The latter imitates the early stages of damselfly nymphs and should be size 14-16 with a tan or light olive body. A rust- or claret-colored Woolly Bugger is also a good fly choice, as is a size 16-18 midge pupa pattern fished just under the surface.

For October and November, Amber is catch-and-release only. The lake closes November 30. vvvChopaka Lake 5502
