working for it
Hi folks, Guided a Lamoille tributary under partly sunny/cloudy conditions. The water level is still up but the clarity was good. Water temperature was 57 degrees. Actually a little cooler than yesterday, but then again it was 40 degrees at my house in Stowe last night. Another breezy day with a steady NW west. Saw a pretty good hatch of #14/#16 Hendricksons today. No rising fish. We fished 4 different large stable pools nymphing with double rigs. Generated a couple of strikes and landed 1 leaping rainbow on #12 black double tungsten stone fly. There were a few sporadic stone flies hatching, but mostly may flies. The main stem of the Lamoille and Winooski are still high but slowly but surely clearing up. I saw both rivers today and the Lamoille is in better shape. Fishing trout and pike for the rest of the week. Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native at home. Have Fun, Willy
