Enjoying the weather

Hi folks, Finally some nice weather without rain and seasonal air temperatures.  Good for my vegetable garden.  Nice big blue sky the last few days so I worked some small trout streams.  Guided a full day on the Lamoille today and we started really early.  The small brooks I ventured into were still holding water temperatures between 53 to 57 degrees.  Flows were still up and clarity was excellent.  Good conditons for larger small stream fish to show themselves.  Indeed they did as I seen 4 9" to 11" brook trout get caught in the last couple of days as well as several 9" to 12" wild bows take a dry fly.  Good darn fun on a 2wt.  all the fish have been holding in the larger pools in the brooks and it appeared that probably had not seen a fly yet this season.  The Lamoille today was 62 this morning and warmed to 66 degrees by time we were done.  I have been seeing lots of #18/#20 olive micro caddis hatching in the morning and some large #10 stone flies at dark.  Sporadic mayflies with some #16/#18 sulphurs at dark.  Good time to be venturing onto lakes and ponds in the kingdom to look for the Hex hatches.  We only saw 3 rising fish this morning and that was not consistent.  We had all of our fish eat nymphs except for one feisty rainbow that took a bright orange #10 stimulator.  The only reason I put the stimulator on was that the fish first tried to eat a strike indicator. We landed 5 wild rainbows in the 7" to 12" class and lost and missed a handful.  The fishing really slowed as the sun got high over head.  Well, looks like summer conditions ahead.  Get out early or at dusk and carry a thermometer.  Starting to transition into small stream action and smallmouth fishing.  off early am to tug on bass.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  have fun, Willy
