getting out of the sun

Hi Folks, Been keeping busy and out of trouble guiding the last few days.  Really nice summer weather currently and a big bright sun.  I like the sun for gardening but not necessarily for fishing.  Small stream trout fishing has been in order and the fishing has been very good.  Water temperature on the small brook I visited yesterday morning was 59 degrees.  The water was clear and the level had been dropping from the previous days rain.  I love the small streams on hot summer days as they have good shade with the tree canopy and tend to always stay cooler than the larger exposed rivers.  We cast dry flies all morning with a #14 lime green bodied stimulator being the go to fly.  We caught a dozen and half native brook trout and wild rainbows.  Some pretty nice sized brookies and even one wild bow over 11".  Good fun on a 2wt. outfit in a small environment.  The only hatching bugs were #14 yellow sallies.  I am not convinced that matching the hatch is critical in a small brook but our stimulator was certainly the same size as the bug that was coming off and it did out perform a larger #10 royal trude with rubber legs. Up stream fishing, accurate casting and good mending allowed us to catch all the trout.  Keep your thermometers handy as it is warm outside and the big rivers are becoming too warm to fish in the afternoon.  I am off to chase smallmouth with the fly.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
