walking

Hi Folks, Spent a full day guiding with two fine anglers.  Visited the lower Lamoille in the morning and a small mountain brook in the afternoon.  Water level in the Lamoille was above the seasonal average and slightly off color.  Temperature was 72 degrees at 7:00am.  We covered a lot of water and wore out some boot leather.  We landed 1 14" smallmouth on a #8 chartruse/white minnow.  No top water bit e to speak of and we made lots of casts for 1 fish.  So we changed directions and boots and moved to a small brook where the water temperature was 59 degrees.  There were brookies in every spot we cast to.  We walked and fished a lot of water. Caught them on #12 stimulator in yellow with a red tail and a #12 rubber legged royal stimulator.  Really good fishing in the small brook.  I am of to teach fly fishing to some aspiring anglers.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
