fishing bass, catching trout

Hi Folks, Guided down low on the Lamoille yesterday afternoon for smallmouth bass.  Took a couple of aspiring anglers spin fishing.  A hot summer like day with early sun and good late afternoon cloud cover.  A threat of thunderstorms that never materialized.  Water temperature was 70 degrees, clarity was excellent, the river level was just below the seasonal average.  We fished with light spin tackle casting stick baits and shallow diving crankbaits.  Lots of crawfish on the river's bottom that you could scurrying about.  Our most effective were two crankbaits that resembled crawfish.  We did catch a 2lb smallmouth and a very large fall fish, but the fish of the day were 3 large trout.  Two brown trout and 1 rainbow.  Both brown were stocked fish and it appeared that one fish could have been a holdover.  Looked too darn good to have been stocked this year.  The rainbow was all of 15" and it appeared to be a wild fish.  Everything was holding in primary pools that were fed by giant riffles.  Pretty curious that you go to catch bass on a hot summer day and we turn 3 nice looking trout.  Well, off to do a double today.  Should be fun.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  have Fun, Willy
