Welcome change

Hi Folks, Been of the radar for a couple of days.  Scary thunder storms in Stowe on Friday knocked my power out for little over a day.  Big wind and some rain.  Been guiding smallmouth out of my boat lately and the surface temperature on the lake we fished was between 79 degrees and 82 degrees. Been nice calm morning conditions with increasing north/northwest wind each day around 9:00am.  It pays to get out early to avoid the heat, wind, and afternoon storms.  The bass fishing has been really good.  The hot humid weather seems to really make the top water bite excellent.  It is important to fish the shade and out off the sun, but the fish are looking up.  We have had well over 50 fish come to the top water fly over the last few days.  A wide variety of sized fish with young 4" to 16" adults.  Pretty much been casting foam sliders in blue/silver and chartreuse.  With the cold front now settling in things should cool off.  Looks like some nights ahead so the trout fishing might come back around.  Takes a couple of days to cool things off.  I am off to bass fish.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
