April heat

Hi folks, Guided today on the banks of a local reservoir today with aspiring spin anglers.  Crazy warm with day time air temperatures in the 80's.  The water temperature was 56 degrees in the shallow bay we fished.  I was on the Lamoille yesterday at midday and saw tons of #14 little brown stone flies hatching.  The water was really low and the water temperature was 54 degrees.  I am sure the Lamoille was even warmer today.  No question that mother nature is mixed up with the warmer than average weather.  Lots of spring flowers are already blooming that would not normally open up for several weeks.  My guess is all of our spring hatches are accelerated and in full action now.  Well,  we fished garden hackle under bobbers and did really well.  Landed 15 decent sized brown bullhead and 1 9" jumping wild rainbow.  Everyone was released safely with no deep hooking issues.  Things should cool back down, but we certainly need some rain.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  have Fun, Willy
