Spooky

Hi Folks, Had a trip yesterday afternoon on a small Lamoille watershed tributary.  Man was the water low and clear.  Water temperature was 58 degrees.  We could see brook trout darting off 20' in front of us if we did not approach the pools with stealth.  Good stream to wear earth tones on and blend in with your back drop.  Many of the trout were holding in the tail outs and slower portion of the pool.  Why not stay out of the heavy current and plunge part of the pool if the water temperature allows?  Landed a dozen beautifully colored native brookies on a #12 orange stimulator.  They crushed the fly.  Should be decent trout fishing over the next few days.  You want to be on the big water early and late.  Small shaded mountain streams will fish well during the day.  Off to chase trout this morning.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
