Hi Folks, Another day on the river guiding with the fly rods. Fished on the lower Winooski. Water temperature was 51 to 52 degrees. Looks like a bit of a warm up this week which should warm the river temps. slightly. Not much for hatching bugs yesterday and the river is still incredibly low. I was able to take clients onto a stretch of the Winooski that would not be safe wading normally under average flow regimes. We had 9 trout eat the fly and landed 4 wild rainbows. Our best fish was a solid 15" bow. The fly of the day was a #20 BWO nymph under a #8 olive wooly bugger. Lots of casting and dead drifting. We fished 3 large riffles to deep pools. Big primary water with wintering holes. Looks like a bit of rain moving in this week. would be nice to fish in overcast damp conditions. Only a couple of weeks left in the season. Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home. Have Fun, Willy
