Had probably my best day out of 2026 today, measured in terms of fun anyway. Definitely saw some very early signs of Fall. The mountaintop I parked on was covered in ripe wild blueberry, and the mile or so gated SGL road that descended about 500 feet to the valley floor had just the beginning signs of some ferns starting to brown, and a random tree every once in a while with a little color.

When I hiked back up and out, and got back to my vehicle at about 2:00, the air temp was 68F when I started it. Good stuff. This was at about 2200 feet in the general “Allegheny Front” part of the state, FWIW. It read 79F when I turned it off when I got home (general Harrisburg area). Anyone else fish this weekend? See any early signs of Fall?

Edit: I did a lot of “Hey Bear” calls today. 😜 I found 3 piles on the hike in (one pictured was the biggest), none of which had flies on them yet.

I fished through the morning on the Battenkill. The air temp was in the 50s when I left the house, and I almost wanted a jacket. The temp stayed cool all day, the water was cold, and the fishing, as it always seems to for me there, sucked terribly.

Happy to be rid of summer, though.
