I am inside by a warm fire as I write this outside the winter wind is blowing and the temperatures have begun to plummet (headed in to the teens tonight). The dogs are in their kennel boxes luxuriating in the warmth of the office. Later this week the possibility of our first snowstorm of the season is a real possibility.
The last fishing trip of the 2013 season was yesterday. A father and son excursion that we hoped would be a great time. This late in the fall I schedule trips for mid-day to take advantage of the warmer 
temperatures and we started at 11. The day before I fished the lake to see what our prospects might be and was delighted. I found pods of rainbow trout on the surface in several locations.
October is always a very busy month and while September provides great variety October is very much one thing. Yes I guide a few 
fishing trips usually early in the month and the rest is dedicated to chasing grouse and woodcock on upland bird hunts with the dogs.
