stocked trout

Hi folks, Spent a full day guiding on a Lamoille tributary yesterday.  Thunderstorms the previous night had dropped a 1/2" of rain at my house in Stowe and all of our rivers came up.  The Lamoille was up and off color.  Where we fished the clarity was fine, but the water level was high.  Nice day to be outside with cloudy skies turning to sunny skies by mid day and a nice cooler air temperatures.  Water temperature was 62 degrees and we saw a few #16 olive bodied caddis hatching.  Found a few rising fish, but not many.  We mostly nymphed in the morning with a #12 prince and #16 caddis pupa dropper.  We missed a few fish and worked for strikes.  By mid morning we changed 2 a dry dropper rig and really started to pick up some fish.  We caught a lot of stocked brown trout on the dry and and wet fly.  Loads of fun and pretty easy action.  All of the fish were holding intow big stable pools.  Off to chase trout his am.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
