Hi Folks, Guided the main stem of the Lamoille yesterday afternoon. Had the entire the place to ourselves with the exception of a flock of Turkeys that were begging to be shot in a corn field. Water temperature was 51 degrees and the water clarity was excellent. Saw two rising fish but they did not come up consistently and I am not really sure what they were eating. Not really any hatching bugs. We found trout in every pool we fished. The fish were holding in the deeper slower parts of the pools. The fish of the day was awesome 18" wild rainbow that got out of the water multiple times. Notice in the picture the big claw marks in it's back. Got lucky and escaped a predator and then we released it after catching it. I do think that the trout are overly fussy as to what they eat right now, they just are not going to work to hard as they water temperature cools off. Dead drifting nymphs or casting streamers on a sink tip will all work. Off to chase salmon tomorrow and then see what Hurricane Sandy brings. The trout season concludes on Halloween. Hopefully the does not get blown out, but we will see. Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home. have fun, Willy
