happy fathers day

Hi folks, Been guiding trout on the Winooski in the early am the last couple of days.  Been pretty tough fishing in my opinion.  The sun has been up and high in the sky early in the morning and the water temperatures are getting too warm.  The temperature of the Winooski has been high 60's in the early morning and over 70 degrees by late afternoon.  We could still use some rain as our rivers are low and clear presently.  We have seen some random #16 tan bodied caddis hatching in the early am, but not much for rising trout.  We have been swinging a #16 orange the Usual and #16 tan bodied CDC caddis in riffles.  Every trout we have hooked has been early on in the morning and then the fall fish get involved.  Not a big fan of fall fish though they do bend a fly rod for a beginner.  It is pretty clear that trout simply do not like these big bright sunny days on the big water.  Small stream fishing is where it is at under these conditions or chasing smallmouth bass in lakes and ponds.  Have seen some #14/#16 cahills at dusk, #18 sulphurs, #16/#18 olive and tan bodied caddis in the morning hatching and egg laying at dusk, plus the giant #6 Hex on our lakes and ponds.  Fishing will remain best in the early morning or late afternoon to dark.  I prefer mornings for river fishing in the summer.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
