getting warm

Hi folks, Been hot and muggy over the last couple of days and our trout streams are already heating up.  Guided on the Lamoille today and the water temperature was 68 degrees and moving towards 70 degrees.  Water level is still higher than average, but the clarity is fine and the fish do not seem to care.  Pretty interesting seeing all of the bank erosion and damage from the high water events of the spring.  Turned over a lot rocks in several riffles and I did not find a ton of insects.  A fair amount of caddis, but few stoneflies or mayflies.  We spin fished for trout today casting a natural rebel craw and a small brown trout imitation.  We had 4 rainbows take the plugs with two fish being wild and two stocked.  Pretty interesting watching how much harder the wild fish fight.  Real jumpers.  Looks like thunderstorms are moving through the Stowe area and the fishing should be very good this weekend with the air temperatures cooling off.  Water temperatures will cool down and it looks like some cloudy conditions.  Perfect, I will be on the water the next few days.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  have fun, Willy
