cooling down
Hi folks, guided the Lamoille yesterday under bright blue skies with a steady north wind. A little chilly out there and the water temperature was 51 degrees. Flows are still a bit high and I do see that changing for the rest of the season. We moved around to find rising fish and never saw any surface activity. Pretty decent number of hatching #20 BWOs, but no trout responding to the surface. Also saw a good number of #14 olive bodied egg laying caddis around dusk and no fish responding. Lots of junk in the water yesterday, but that is typical of a fall day with wind and leaves. We nymph fished several riffles and hooked 1 decent trout and missed two others. Lots of casting for limited results. Well I am going to do it all over again today. Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home. Have Fun, Willy
