trying to finish off with a bang
Hi Folks, Winding down my fall guiding schedule. Guided a Lamoille tributary yesterday afternoon. Beautiful day to be on the water with air temperatures reaching the mid 50's. The water temperature was 47 degrees and clarity was excellent. Everyone seems so consumed with catching big fall spawning brown trout, but I like wild rainbows and they way they fight. Yesterday afternoon we tangled with a handful of nice looking wild rainbows who looked like they handled the summer heat no problem. We fished trout patterns that looked like a young brown trout and young rainbow trout. Fun watching the large fish materialize from a deep pool to eat. A week left in the trout season and a couple of trips left for me. Been in the woods hunting a lot lately. Really nice and quiet and pretty productive. Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species art home. Have fun, Willy
