record wet spring

Hi Folks, start building your arc because has the rain has not let up.  Received almost 2.5" of rain at my house in Stowe since last Saturday.  Not a lot of options for river fishing right now.  I know a few small streams that are clear that have wild rainbows that can be fished and the water temperature has been around 50 degrees.  The Lamoille and Winooski are still very high and dirty.  Lake fishing is an option and I am guiding for pike over the next few days.  Getting tired of canceling and postponing trips due to the weather.  Good time to have a motorboat.  Weather looks to improve over the weekend and air temperatures are certainly warming up which in turn will warm up the water.  On the bright side, all of the water should make for a good June.  Hard to imagine that we will have a problem with low water this season.  Patience with the weather like patience in fishing.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Replace your felt boots.  Have Fun, Willy
