tough day

Hi Folks, Guided a north east kingdom lake yesterday morning with my motorboat.  Experienced a weather change with an in coming front.  Steady wind from the south south/west.  Surface water temperatures still remain warm and in the mid 70's.  We did have several short down pours yesterday around midday that resulted in 1/10th of inch of rain at my house in Stowe.  Rivers are warm and low presently and we could use some more rain and some cooler night time air temperatures.  Yesterday morning the small mouth fishing was tough!  We had two bass eat off the surface first thing in the morning and then that was it.  We tried a a variety of plugs, spinners, and jigs with little success.  I did spot several large fish cruising, but they did not seem interested in eating. Also, watched several smallmouth chase lures, but not finish the deal and grab onto it.  I can only figure that the weather had them in a state of flux.  Prior to yesterday the smallie fishing had been dynamite.  We did tug on some pan fish, but not the target species.  Oh well, always moving forward and never backwards.  Will be guiding small stream stuff with the fly over the next few days.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
