working a small stream

Hi Folks, Worked a small tributary of the Lamoille this morning that has wild rainbows and native brookies.  It is a stream that requires some walking to get to the fishy water.  I would dare say that it does not get fished very often if ever.  Makes you feel like you are in the bush as it is off the beaten path.  Water level was low and clear.  Temperature was 57 degrees.  This brook comes off high elevation and has a great tree canopy.  Lots of shade and cool water.  Caught 15 trout with a mix of wild bows and brookies that were holding in any water that was knee deep.  Some the larger plunge pools held more fish.  It was interesting to see how the rainbows would not return to eat the fly when missed, but the brook trout came back for seconds every time.  The fly of the day was a #14 orange and black stimulator. All dry fly fishing with a short limber 2wt.  Still not seeing anyone fishing except around the trophy zones of the Winooski and Lamoille.  Those anglers can have the hatchery mutants as I prefer to fish for and guide wild trout.  Much more challenging and rewarding.  It looks like summer is on its way with some warmer days on the horizon.  Morning will be the way to go on our trout streams especially the big water.  Hatches still consisting of sulphers #14-#18, caddis in tan and olive #14-#18, stone flies #10-#14, and terrestrials.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
