STATEWIDE - Fall is officially here. Certain things have come to mean fall fishing in V.T. for me. Corn stalks in the river, tiny little BWO's, and swinging nymphs and picking up leaves (and setting the hook) are some of these things. 80+ degree days are not one of those things. The Gihon was a balmy 68 degrees this weekend. Everything points towards Fall but something just doesn't feel right. Like last year when we fished for trout on the last day in Nov. in short sleves. It just feels out of wack. A couple more unseasonably warm days before we get some cooler rainy weather later this week. Tues and Wed. of this week will have the potential for record high temps. This week we saw the usual suspects. Iso's, Yellow Quills, Flying ants, Caddis and Bwo's. We caught fish on princes, ants, caddis pupas, and stimulators. Talked to one angler who was fishing for bass and said that dragonfly nymphs were the ticket. As low as our water is, it's nothing compared to western N.Y. where Lake O tribs are at crazy low levels with some smaller tribs dry down to the creek beds. They have a severe drought going on and without major water events, levels are predicted to stay low throughout the fall
