big heads, small bodies

Hi Folks, guided on the Lamoille main stem yesterday morning for trout.  I have been fishing the Lamoille for trout in a couple of months due to warm water temperatures and low water levels.  Water temperature was 64 degrees at 7am and the level was spring like.  A little over a 1/2" of rain Saturday night helped with the levels.  Did not see any hatching bugs or any #12/#14 Isonychia shucks on rocks.  We nymph fished with a double fly rig  under an indicator.  We fished a #14 tungsten red thread prince with a #18 peacock soft hackle.  We also mixed in a #12 tungsten head olive wooly under as the top fly.  All of our takes were pretty subtle and the fish were holding in the soft water off the main current.  Not much fight in the trout and they all looked starved.  Big heads with really skinny bodies from a stressful hot summer.  The condition of the fish should hopefully only improve and and the fishing as well.  Nice weather right now with the cool nights and the feel of fall in the air.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
