This is the last day of September, the skies have opened up and gave us a much needed drink. I have not seen an actual rainfall number but from my not so sophisticated rain gauge I make it 2 inches. From radar views the state may have exceeded 3 inches. This influx of water will have an impact on the small streams and bring some movement in wild trout.
The scene above is the start of the "glorious season"...that magical time when nature paints the New England area. The colors that come forth this time of year are nothing shy of incomparable. The season refreshes both mind and soul and gives us thought to the fact that there is something greater and this is just one way of showing us.
Both the brown trout and the brook trout choose this time to start the process of renewing their species.
The colors of these fish will increase as time arrives to spawn.
Scenes like this are fully underway in Connecticut.
Autumn's colors are represented in this simple box of flies. I believe that these will serve me well for he next couple of months.
