working for them

Hi Folks, Spent yesterday morning on a Lamoille Tributary with clients chasing trout with the fly. Water temperature was a cool 59 degrees and the water clarity was excellent. Pretty bright morning with big sun.  Not much for hatching insects.  We worked up stream casting various stimulator patterns and fishing an indicator rig into plunge pools.  We had 11 trout eat the fly yesterday morning and we landed 3 wild brown trout.  We covered a lot of water to find the trout we did hook.  It was interesting that the trout that did rise to the dry fly did so very tentatively.  Really important to keep focus when fishing on those more difficult mornings.  You never know when a fish will eat your fly.  I can attribute that to the bright sun and weather front.  Looks like we are going to continue to have cool nights for a bit so our trout streams will maintain temperature.  I am off to bass fish this morning.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
