warm weather fishing

Hi Folks, Spent the last few days guiding big water or lower sections of rivers for smallmouth bass.  Still pretty hot out there though the humidity is not as bad as last week.  Water temperatures are still the low seventies.  The Winooski and Lamoille down low were between 72 and 75 degrees early in the morning on Sunday and Monday.  Still to warm to be fishing trout in the big water.  Walk a small mountain stream if you want a trout fix or fish the Hex hatch at dusk on local lake.  We did receive an inch of rain at my house in Stowe over the weekend and that did put a bit of water in our streams.  I can not say the fishing has been fast and furious.  We have been working for fish and catching a lot of damn fall fish.  Nothing really large on the smallmouth end of things though the smaller bass have been cooperative.  Surface action has been slow and all of the fish have been caught on either clauser minnows with the fly rods or crawfish imitation plugs with the spin gear.  I will be back chasing bass with my boat and canoe this week.  Fishing will be best in the early am and late day to dark.  Looks like some afternoon showers so hopefully things will cool off a little bit.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
