calm before the storm

Hi folks, Another glorious day on the Winooski guiding with beautiful weather and foliage.  Looks like it is about to change with a big nor'easter coming at us this weekend.  Water temperature was 52 degrees and the levels are still above the seasonal average.  Not much for hatching bugs and I saw one fish rise in a big back eddy.  We nymph fished with #12 copper john and #18 BWO dropper and a #12 tungsten prince nymph with a #18 green soft hackle.  Landed 3 wild rainbows on the larger nymphs and lost or missed another 6 trout.  Most of the fish were holding in slower deeper part of the pool.  No strikes in the riffles and the best fishing seemed to be right in the middle of the day.  Fishing has been consistent in our trout streams with fish being hooked and caught every day, but we are making lots of casts to accomplish this feat.  Off to guide trout again today and then seeing what the weather will bring.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
