river and lake fishing for trout

Hi Folks, Been busy with the guiding every day going in the morning and evening for trout.  Guided the Lamoille yesterday and this morning.  Water temperature this morning at 5:30am was 65 degrees.  Nice heavy of the last couple of mornings and helps to keep the sun off the water and keep the fish a bit more active.  Saw a black bear yesterday on the way to fishing.  Always a bonus when outside getting to see wildlife.  The Lamoille is still above the seasonal average flow.  Have seen a few micro caddis hatching #18 to #20 olive and tan bodied as well as some #14 cahills.  Seen the light cahill duns at dusk and the spinners in the early am.  Found a few sporadic rising rainbows to caddis in the morning.  The fishing on the Lamoille this weekend has been decent with a mixed bag of wild trout and stocked trout.  Had a guest this morning land a measured 18" wild rainbow.  Great looking trout that ate a #12 tungsten prince nymph.  Most of our fish we have been catching are in the 7" to 12" range so when you get one over 15", pretty nice moment.  Had a few trout rise and take a #18 tan bodied x-caddis or a #18 olive caddis pupa drifted just below the surface.  Fly fished a north east kingdom lake last night for the Hex hatch.  We used my boat and set up where a brook dumped into the lake and had a soft bottom that abutted a sharp drop off into deeper water.  The Hex is a burrowing nymph and rises out of sediment ridden bottoms.  The hatch came off pretty well around 9:00pm.  Awful big fly!  The rainbows in this lake were not overly responsive last night.  We did get a few chances to cast to some cruising fish, but it was not easy.  Caught a few perch stripping back a Hex nymph, but no fish on the dry.  Casting distance and accuracy is a must on the Hex hatch and figuring out the direction the trout are moving can be tough when it gets dark.  We got pushed off the water by a massive thunderstorm.  Pretty interesting hatch to witness even when the fishing is tough.  Well, guiding out of the boat the next few days for smallmouth.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
