Time is now to be on a trout stream in Vermont

Hi folks, Now is the time of the year that you want to be everywhere at once to fish.  The fishing is stellar presently and I just returned from trip up north for Landlocked Salmon.  Water levels are still high, but the clarity is excellent and there are a wide variety of hatching insects.  Water temperatures have ranged from 58 degrees to 64 degrees over the last couple of days.  Saw a few #12 March Browns blast off today, a number of #16 olive bodied caddis hatching, and a few #14 rusty spinners landing on the water.  A few small fish were rising.  We targeted landlocked slamon with streamer patterns and nymphs.  A #10 black ghost and #8 magog smelt were the early morning flies and drew a little interest except for 1 mid size salmon that jumped and pitched the fly.  A #10 red head tungsten prince nymph with a #16 olive wire caddis under indicator was the ticket.  We found spawning smallmouth protecting beds in big back eddies and very slow currents.  We left them alone for the most part. Not the target species though we did land several including a fine 18" specimen on a 5wt.  The salmon were holding in the heavier water and we landed a solid 4lb 22" male salmon.  A real silver bullet.  Hooked another salmon that was even larger but the tail walk across the pool created separation from the fly rod.  The 22" measured salmon was chased down stream almost a football field through really nasty heavy water and still stayed hooked.  Man do landlocked salmon fight.  We landed one salmon per and a 15" salmon.  Lots of fall fish in the mix.  The best part of the morning was having the river to ourselves.  Get out fish, either early or late in the day.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  have Fun, Willy
