Quality verus quantity

Hi folks, Guided this morning with spin gear for river trout.  Needless to say we do not need any more rain presently.  The Lamoille was stuffed today so we fished a tributary that was in good shape.  The water was up but the clarity was fine.  We got on the water early and I have been over the last few weeks.  Started to rain pretty good when we were finishing up around 10:30am. Lots of afternoon thunder activity which has limited my ability to fish any Hex hatches.  The water temperature was 65 degrees which is not terrible considering the hot humid weather we have been experiencing.  We cast a variety of lures with trout imitations being the most effective.  We had four fish eat this morning and we landed one.  Happened to be a 17" male brown trout.  The other three fish were all rainbows because we watched them jump a mile high as they tossed the plugs with a big FU!  Pretty much moved around to big primary pools and got our strikes withing minutes of fishing them.  Keep the focus on always when first casting into a piece of water.  I often ask clients when we only catch a fish or two, but one of them or both are nice quality fish, what do think?  would you rather catch a mess of smaller to average fish or a 1 or 2 really good ones?  I find the answer varies depending on the age of my client.  Anywho, the brown trout we caught today was a quality Vermont wild trout.  High water that is a little off colored and a lure that looks like an easy meal equals nice brown trout.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
