We fish Acton for saugeye in spring and early summer and are now wondering what our best tactic is for fall/winter fish. The main feeder creek is pretty shallow, but we can access it by canoe. Will they still follow instinct and move up into the creek channel or stay in deeper water? Our other option is to hike the creek bed below the spillway and fish the pools there from shore or wading.

We haven't had any luck finding them in the main lake the past two trips. Water temps in our area are now in the high forties.

Thanks for any advice - Roberta.
