caddis

Hi Folks, Guided on a stretch of the Lamoille this am that generally receives a lot of fishing pressure.  It was my first visit there this season.  Nice heavy fog this am and it remained until about 9:30am.  Water flow was good, though still below the seasonal average flow.  We did receive rain yesterday and I got about 1/4" at my house.  Water temperature was 64 degrees.   Saw a decent number of hatching #14 olive bodied caddis and #16 tan bodied caddis.  You can see all the caddis casings on the tops of rocks indicating that they are ready to pop.  Found some rising fish and a few who were willing to eat off the top.  You know the morning will be good when you hook fish on your first two casts of the day.  Never changed rigs this am using a #16 olive x-caddis with a #16 olive caddis pupa dropper.  Hooked trout on the dead drift and on the swing.  Landed 11 trout all together with a combination of stocked and wild trout. Probably missed or lost just as many. Lost a real beauty of a rainbow that had some shoulders.  The fishing for trout the last 3 weeks has been great.  Can't remember such a good stretch in a while.  Morning is the time with the bright, warm sunny days we have been experiencing.  Saw a few #14 sulphurs hatch this am and should see a lot at dusk.  Also, start looking for the Brown Drakes at dusk, but take a temperature reading and leave the fish alone if the water is over 70 degrees.  Keep plenty of caddis in your box as that seems to have been the soup du jour pretty consistently in recent weeks.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home, have Fun, Willy
