cool down

Hi Folks, Finally some nice cool weather.  Did receive some rain this week which puffed up our streams and brooks.  Rain is expected over the next few days and will be good for the long haul.  With the rain air temperatures have cooled off and will have nice affect on our river fish.  It was too warm too early this year.  Last night the fishing on the Lamoille watershed was great.  Fish rising everywhere to sulphers.  Saw #14 Ephemerella dorothea and #16/#18 Ephemerella invaria coming off and the fish were tuned in.  Still some large mayfly spinners around and a #12 rusty spinner would have produced fish as well.  Some #16 olive bodied egg laying caddis were returning to the stream and some of the splashy rise forms indicated to me that a percentage of the trout were tuned into the caddis.  Could see some #10/#12 Brown Drakes any day and that hatch should fish well if the water levels come down from the rain and the streams clear up.  Did not land any monsters last night, but plenty of 8" to 13" wild rainbows.  A #16 yellow parachute was the fly of the day.  Lake fishing might be tough this weekend with the rain and wind.  Smaller streams should fish well and you will have to keep an eye on the big water.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
