morning fog
Hi folks, Been pretty foggy the last couple of mornings on the water. My clients and I visited the Winooski yesterday morning well below the Bolton Dam. Water temperature was 67 degrees and there was a nice amount of fog over the water that kept the sun covered up. We found a few rising trout early on that seemed to be sipping small #18 black caddis. We caught 1 stocked brown trout and lost one other. A few fall fish in the mix and that was that. Once the fog burned off the fishing really slowed down. Still some #12 stone fly shucks on rocks, #12 Isonychia shucks as well, #14-#22 spent flying ants, micro caddis, and a wide variety of terrestrials. I am off to guide the Lamoille this morning. Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home. Have Fun, Willy
