no it won't
That's flat wrong ..period
 
Obviously you haven't fished enough years early in the season to see many unseasonably warm Sept and Oct's
 
..L.T.A.

I've seen that.  I think it was the fall of '07.  Ridiculously dry September.  Don't remember if it was stupid hot or more normal temps.  But the first weekend of October, fish were absolutely stacked in lower Elk, stuck by low water between the access and Cascade hole.  Total snag fest for most. 
 
Genie, I know you're steadfast on the daylight thing, and that most will be in the system by mid October.  
 
Hard to believe I've been doing this now for about 15 years, but for me, the biggest factor for triggering good numbers coming into the system is lake temp.  When it hits 67, that's when they'll start, as long as the cricks are at or below the same temp.  That used to happen around this time, but the last few years, that's been later.  In the past 3 or 4 years, I'd say the max number of fish ain't happening till about the first or second week of November now.  
 
I'm sure those in the know have been catching 'em for a few weeks now.  There's are some social media trout gawds that've been catching them since the last week of August.  They'll be here eventually.
