Father's Day

Hi Folks, Guided the Lamoille yesterday morning with the fly rods for trout.  Water level is still high, but the clarity was excellent.  The flows are how the river generally is in the beginning of May. Water temperature was 60 degrees, perfect!  The trout fishing the last few days on the Lamoille has been excellent. I lost track of how many fish we had eat the fly yesterday.  I know we landed at least 12 rainbows with a combination of wild and stocked fish.  Good to see wild trout in the 6" to 12" class as I think they were the fish that I had been wondering about after Irene and the heat off the last summer.  We nymph fished all morning with two flies and never changed rigs.  A #14 tungsten prince and #18 olive copper john.  We hooked fish on both flies.  We found trout in the pools and riffles.  They were really on yesterday morning.  The most productive spots were deep seem lines between slow and fast water on the riffles.  We hooked trout dead drifting as well as swinging the fly.  Yesterday morning was as good as it gets on the Lamoille with the exception of the no trout on dry flies.  It is my opinion that taking advantge of the big rivers while you can would be a good idea before everything starts to really warm up.  Look like a good fishing week.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  have fun, Willy
