Back to the trout

Hi folks, Guided yesterday under beautiful weather conditions.  Nice cool day with morning fog and even cooler evening.  Water levels have been dropping and I visited the Lamoille in the early am to find the water temperature 59 degrees.  Still twice its seasonal flow average and off color slightly.  We drifted some heavy nymphs without a bite so we moved to a small stream for brook trout.  The brook trout stream was 55 degrees and gin clear.  Still it was 4 times over its seasonal flow average.  We had well over 40 brook trout come to the fly.  Big gaudy stimulator patterns were the ticket.  Great environment for perfecting casting accuracy and making controlled short drifts.  The brook trout are really colorful right now as they begin to prepare for fall spawning.  Should be another nice day for fishing.  I will be guiding trout late this afternoon.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
