Levels are getting pretty low again and rain isn't in the forecast until Sunday night or Monday. Fish on redds have been very skiddish in the low, clear water. Plenty are still out there, so I would recommend going to a stocked stream, going somewhere you can float, or going steelheading until the spawn is over. November is usually the month I see the most spawning activity on the river and redds are now scattered from Forest City to the Susquehanna.
*October and November are spawning months for Lackawanna browns. Take extra caution to avoid disturbing spawning fish and NEVER attempt to catch a fish on a spawning bed!
