before the rain

Hi Folks, Been chasing moose in the woods with a friend the last few days.  Pretty interesting.  Guided for trout on the Lamoille drainage on Thursday prior to the Nor'Easter.  Received a little over an inch of rain at my house in Stowe on Friday.  Thursday the water temperature ranged from 50 to 52 degrees and the fishing was certainly better as the day progressed and the water warmed.  The rivers were higher than average on Thursday and they are certainly up and dirty now.  Lots of heavy wind with the storm and a lot of debris in the streams.  We found a pod rising rainbows and a one very large brown trout in pretty clear water,  Watched them do their thing in the water for awhile.  Was able to sight fish for them.  Fun stuff as the trout sipped little BWO mayflies.  We landed 13 wild trout for the day with 1 brown trout and 12 rainbows.  Too bad for the rain because the fishing was good.  Well will be moose hunting for the next few days.  We wills e what it brings.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
