The nights are getting a bit cooler and days shorter, so water is cooling down.

A recent trip to the Winooski below Bolton Dam saw temps still a bit warm. 68F at 10:00AM, 67F below mouth of Pineo Brook. It was fun to see ISO’s coming off the riffles,

The Little River was 62F and flows were back up from a low of 24cfs just last week to 55 cfs. The trout were keyed in on size 20 flying ants. If you have some of those give them a try. I don’t so I had to settle for a size 16 Adam’s parachute which fooled a few little browns and rainbows. Fun.

If you've been frustrated trying to get stream data on the CVTU website, pull up a chair! Apparently, the Dadburn Gummint doesn't allow direct embedding of their stream data the way they did a while back. So our VT Stream Data page just contains a link that sends you to them. Same data, just a different pathway. USGS still has only two stations monitoring temperature - neither of them in terribly helpful places. Guess we just have to figure that it's too darn hot in a lot of spots.

Cheers!

Afterthe recent heat I thought I would go out Sunday, July 5 with a thermometer

Here is what I found

Preston Brook 60F, Winooski River at Duxbury trestle 68F, Ridley Brook 61F, Winooski at base Of Bolton Dam 70F, winooski in Waterbury at River St bridge 72F, and Little River 61F

You know what to do
