return to summer

Hi folks, guided the Winooski yesterday morning under a big bright sun.  Water level was above the seasonal average and the clarity was not so great.  Water temperature was 61 degrees and that should rise in the next few days with the warm air temperature we will be experiencing.  The Hex hatch is going on so a nice change of pace from river fish for those of you who like to fish at night.  Not much for bugs hatching yesterday morning and we did not see any rising fish.  We landed 3 wild rainbows and missed 4 other trout with a double nymph rig.  A #14 tungsten prince with a #18 hare's ear nymph.  Off to guide trout all day or until it becomes too warm.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
