big storm

Hi Folks, Lost a trip yesterday afternoon to a torrential down pour and thunderstorm.  I received 1.5" of rain at my house in Stowe in about a hour's time.  Rivers came up and got dirty, but are now settling back down.  Small streams could be fished this afternoon and the big water will take a few days to clear.  Air temperatures have cooled off and especially in the evening.  Will be good for the trout fishing.  Lots of grasshoppers and japanese beetles around presently.  Do not ignore carrying some terrestrials with you while stream fishing.  Nice patterns to blind fish with when nothing is rising.  Will be chasing smallmouth tomorrow and trout his weekend if the weather holds.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
