heavy nymphing

Hi Folks, Spent a beautiful sunny fall afternoon guiding the Winooski.  Water flows are heavy and the level is still 3 times the seasonal average.  Clarity was good and the temperature was 54 degrees.  Not much for hatching bugs and we fished double nymph rigs all afternoon.  A #12 tungsten prince nymph with a #18 BWO dropper nymph under a white indicator.  Made lots of upstream casts into soft seams and the inside corners of heavy riffles.  A fun take from the trout when you see the indicator stop or dart out and set the hook only to feel the thrashing of a fish.  We landed 6 wild rainbows between 8" and 14" and missed several other trout.  Several of the fish looked absolutely stuffed as their bellies were fat from feeding.  Pretty decent fishing considering all of the high water.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
