Feels like fall

Hi Folks, Took a couple of days off from fishing and we got some rain in the mean time.  Received about 3/4" of rain at my house in Stowe on Thursday. Also, a cold front pushed through and we have our first frost warnings  of the fall.  Guided a tributary of the Lamoille today for a full day and we did not see another angler.  Beautiful sunny day with morning frost, fog, and then afternoon sun. Leaves are starting to turn.  All of our rivers are up and above the seasonal average flow.  Probably will not change for the rest of the season as the ground is saturated and its been wet.  Still the trout are biting.  Water temperatures ranged from 50 degrees at 9am to 55 degrees at 4pm.  Saw a decent number of #20 BWO's hatching as well some BWO spinners late in the day.  A few #12 Isonychia spinners and random caddis hatching.  No rising fish.  Lots of cased #18 tan bodied caddis on the tops of rocks in riffles indicating that they are getting ready to hatch.  So, we nymph fished all day with a #12 prince, #14 copper john, and even through a #10 bead head wooly bugger in the mix.  Landed 2 wild rainbows over 15" with one measuring 16" and another measuring 17" and had to have weighed 3lbs.  Helluva of a trout and fought like crazy.  My client did a good job landing it in a tough spot with a waterfall and not much maneuvering room.  Also, landed a 14" bow and several smaller wild bows.  Missed a few fish and lost one brown trout but we did not have tons of action all day.  I always like to ask folks what they prefer, "1 or 2 large fish or lots of small fish?"  One to ponder, but I like seeing the large adult bows.  Fishing should stay consistent and the weather looks pretty good to me.  Off to chase trout again tomorrow.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
