wet

Hi Folks, Guided the upper Lamoille yesterday in the rain.  Pretty wet morning until the sun appeared late in the day.  Unfortunately the rain was not significant enough to raise water levels.  Our rivers are awful low for June and when the air temperatures really warm up our trout might be in a bit of trouble.  Water temperature was 62 degrees and low and clear.  Cool nights the next few days should help to maintain water temperatures.  Fishing early in the morning will be the best approach.  Saw a few #8/#10 stone fly shucks on rocks as well as some large adults flying around.  We worked up stream casting #10 and #12 orange stimulators.  We landed 2 native brook trout and missed a few fish.  We covered a lot of water in order to encounter the trout we saw.  Lots of cased caddis on top of and below rocks.  #16/#18 tan bodied and green bodied caddis.  Look for the #6 Hex hatch on our lakes and #18 sulphurs at dusk on streams.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
