Was there about a week ago and no colors yet but are probably starting now and with colder weather should be about prime when you are there. I prefer the east side because of large amount of spots and structure but there are nice fish on the west side also and in past years have done well there in October. This year lake is 2 weeks behind normal. Bridge is open but 1st pass is basically closed to scott lake. Like glide baits, crane and bulldogs at that time of year but with lake behind surface and bucktails should be good. Jerk baits have been moving fish with the only problem being the catch rate is low on these lures. Weeds are less this season.
