first vermont trout of the season

Hi folks, Fished up in the kingdom today on the Willoughby River for lake run Rainbow Trout.  Nice day with air temps. warming into the 60's and perfect water conditions on the Willoughby.  The water temperature was 36 degrees at 8:00am and warmed to 42 degrees by 2:00pm.  Clarity was okay with off colored water that was slightly high.  My preferred clarity and level for steelheading on the Willoughby.  Landed two rainbows with the largest fish weighing in at 2lbs.  I caught 1 trout on a orange glow bug and second on a salmon colored spring wiggler.  Each fish was caught in a fast riffle indicating to me that they were moving up stream.  Both silver fish that were fresh from the lake.  There were several fish jumping the falls in Orleans and the suckers had also arrived in the river.  Great hatch of #14 brown stone flies and I suspect the wiggler is a pretty good imitator of the stone fly.  The Willoughby should be decent for few weeks.  However, lots of rain forecast for this week and it could create unfishable water.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Take the felt off!.  have Fun, Willy
