Summer conditions

Hi Folks, Looks like summer fishing out there.  Guided all day yesterday and I was surprised to see how low our rivers really are.  Could use some steady rain.  Fly fished the Lamoille and one of its tributaries which were both much lower than average for this time of the year.  Yesterday was partly cloudy with afternoon clearing.  Water temperatures were 60 to 63 degrees.  Not going to cool much either as it will be warm and sunny for most of this upcoming week.  We fished a lot of water yesterday and use a wide variety of tactics.  Started with a dry dropper rig in the morning that did not produce so we double nymph rigged with a #12 flashback pheasant tail and #16 hare and copper.  We landed, hooked , and missed 8 wild rainbows with most takes being on the dropper fly.  We stayed away from stocked fish yesterday and the larger trout in the river did not seem overly interested in us.  We moved to smaller water and found a few rising fish that were eating hatching caddis.  We swung #14 and #16 olive bodied x-caddis with pretty good results.  More wild rainbows but not any big fish.  We concluded the day in a shady pocket water section with the x-caddis ahd fun tugging on native brookies and small wild rainbows.  Really important in small stream fishing to move with your feet and minimize the amount of fly line out and on the water.  Positioning and line management are critical.  Off to do it all over again today.  Morning and evening seem to be the way to go now.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
