Lewis Mania!
Submitted by Jesse on Sun, 04/25/2010 - 1:53pm
Water Temp:
50
Water Clarity:
Just Off
Hatches:
Caddis, some small stones
Suggested Patterns:
Bass-Buggers(Chartruse, White, Purple, & Naturals) Muddlers, Double Bunny's, Matuka, "The Kitchen Sink" Batman & Purple Prince, all attractor flies. Perhaps some top water foam flies. Trout- Serindipities, San Juan Worms, Caddis Pupa Prince, PT's, Olive Hares Ears, Stones, Buggers. The bass have begun the journey up the Lewis Creek watershed, but so have the abundance of fisherman. If you would like to experience the "Salmon River" in Vermont, check out Lewis the next few weekends. I would suggest getting there on a weekday. Reports from this weekend saw some bass. The lower on the river the better right now. They will be working up slowly though. VT F&W dumped some Brookies and Steelie strain fish in the river too. Heard about some big Brookies (12") that are in there right now. A pretty steady Caddis hatch going on. So try those Caddis pupa, worms and dries. Remember Lewis is a big watershed so you can go early for Bass and get into some nice trout upstream later in the day when the crowd arrives. Come on in for more suggested patterns and tactics. We want to know how you did out there, so come on by!
