catching trout in bright sun

Hi folks, Guided for trout this morning on the Lamoille and fished yesterday at a private trout club.  Big bright sun out there that makes it feel like summer.  The Lamoille was 58 this morning and heated up to 60 degrees by time we left at the lunch hour.  Saw a number of #12 March Browns coming a few #14 Grey Fox, and a few #16 olive bodied caddis.  No rising trout.  My guess is with this weather pattern trout will be much more likely to rise at dusk to eat spinners versus gobbling duns in bright sun.  We nymph fished with and without an indicator.  We began the morning with olive leech patterns that created the illusion of a young crawfish.  We hooked a big trout that we never saw that ran up stream.  The fly line literally was cutting through very heavy current before the hook popped out.  We landed a wild rainbow in the 10" with the leech and lost or missed 4 other trout.  We swung the leech pattern with a piece of weight above the fly.  When the bugs began to pop we switched to double nymph rigs under an indicator.  A #12 flashback pheasant tail with a #16 pheasant tail put a clinic on with the stocked rainbows.  We found a pod of stocked fish that were willing to play.  Even had a trout to eat a orange strike indicator. Not a bad morning of fly fishing.  Yesterday was fun for me as I floated on a private lake for native brook trout.  Kind of mystery to me as to how to catch the fish without seeing them rise in still water.  I hate trolling a refuse to troll a fly.   We found a few random risers on a drop off from deep water to a shallow flat.  A few #16 caddis were hatching in close and every so often we would see a fish boil.  I got 2 trout to eat a #14 Usual twitched just below the surface.  I missed both.  I moved to the brook that flows between the private ponds and caught 2 really nice 12" brook trout on a #14 prince nymph under an indicator.  Lots of black flies.   Will be guiding a double tomorrow.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
