Hi Folks, Guided a double yesterday mixing it up between small stream fly fishing for trout and large river fishing for smallmouth with spin gear. We really need rain!!! Another dry fall. Water temperatures in the brook we fished were 56 degrees and in the afternoon the bass river was 66 degrees. We worked really hard for trout only landing 5 native brookies and we missed a few fish. The low water has the trout tight and the spook factor is in full effect. We got them to eat terrestrials, but ha to try a variety of flies. The bass fishing was very good with us landing 16 smallmouth and 3 stocked rainbows on 3" and 4" Senkos. All dead drifted. The river fishing will remain consistent for smallmouth as long as the water temperature stay above 60 degrees. I am off to chase bass ad pike out of the boat today. Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home. Have Fun, Willy
