not yet
Hi Folks, Made a trip into the kingdom yesterday with some old friends to fish for lake run rainbows or steelhead. Water temperature was 35 in the morning and 37 degrees by late afternoon. The river was high and dirty and appeared to become more dirty as the day progressed. I did not see any fish hooked or landed. Lots of casting and drifting a wide variety of brightly colored egg patterns. Typically, when the water temperature exceeds 40 degrees the fish begin to come in mass. Fishing for lake run trout is one of those deals where you need to be on the river daily for a couple of weeks. Rain yesterday afternoon and cooler air temperatures are not helping to warm up our streams. The Lamoille is still totally stuffed and will be for a few days. It was a long winter and it will be a slow start to the season this year. The best is yet to come. Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home. Have Fun, Willy
