cold weather fishing

Hi Folks, Been guiding the last couple of days for trout in the Lamoille watershed and it has started to get cool out there.  Snow is falling this morning and looks to be a nasty day.  Water temperatures are now in the high 40's with lots of leaves in the water.  The leak in my waders is finally starting to get to me.  The #20 BWOs are still hatching but did not see many rising trout the last two days.  Wind and bright sun might influenced the lack of rising activity and not super large numbers of bugs on the water's surface.  Been dead drifitng wool buggers in black and olive and some heavy nymphs with little success.  Things will pick back up in trout fishing with a few warmer days.  The landlocked salmon fishing is still going on,  but you need to deal with a crowded river.  Will be taking the day off be fishing again tommorrow.  Remeber to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  have Fun, Willy
