October-December 2009

Within each region you can check out our quarterly forecasts for major fishing areas, or you can get our 2009 recommendations for the top bass, bream, catfish, crappie or striper locales.  Some information on fishing seasonality is provided showing regional temperatures ranges and at what temperature some fishes spawn and feed most actively, and a link explaining the solunar theory and providing access to calendars that predict peak fishing times. 

For general information on what lakes are available in an area by ZIP code or city, check out TakeMeFishing.org's fishing site finder.

Please note that the Department of Health has revised its guidelines for fish consumption.  These advisories do not affect your ability to enjoy recreational fishing with your family and friends - they just relate to how much fish you should safely eat for their health benefits/concerns and from where.
