wild rainbows

Hi Folks, Guided a fine fly angler yesterday for trout on small Lamoille tributary.  Water temperature was 60 degrees and the water level was inline with the seasonal average.  Not much for hatching insects.  Saw a few #12 Isonychia and fair amount of #20 Blue Winged Olives.  No rising fish.  Pretty breezy day with bright sun.  The fish were certainly tuned into the nymphs we were fishing.  We rigged a #14 prince nymph with a #20 BWO dropper under a white indicator.  I think there was a wild rainbow in every hole we fished.  We had a lot of strikes and lost fish.  We did manage to land 4 bows.  All fish between 7" and 11".  No monsters but good steady action.  We nymphed up stream keeping the slack line out of the equation.  Lots of strikes on the up stream drift where you just have to trust the indicator.  Good fishing.  Off to fish a small stream again this morning.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
