Pleasant Surprise

Hi Folks, Had a really nice day on the Lamoille today guiding fly anglers for trout.  Beautiful weather with cool air temperatures and a big blue sky.  Water conditions were good with high flows but decent clarity.  I have to assume that river flows will be above average for sometime to come due to all off the recent wet weather we have enjoyed.   Water temperature hovered between 58 degrees to 60 degrees.  The higher than average flows are fine as trout simply find the soft water to hang out in and it tends to make them a lot less wary.  We had well over 20 trout come to the fly.  A combination of stocked and wild rainbows.  We hooked every fish with nymphs.  Mostly dead drifted #12 pheasant tails with weight, #14 tungsten prince nymphs, and heavily weighted #10 olive/black wooly buggers.  Saw a good number of hatching insects.  Random #12 March Browns and #14 Grey Fox along with a consistent number of large #14 to #16 Sulphurs (dorothea).  Caddis really took off around mid morning and hatched for the rest of the day.  We only saw a couple of rising fish.  I would have to say that it was one of the better days I have seen for trout fishing on the Lamoille in awhile.  Nice fishing weather coming up if we do not receive too much rain.  Will be cool and damp. I am guiding trout for the next few days so hopefully we will be experiencing plenty of tight lines.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
