The onslaught of winter has a lot more to offer than gloom and doom. One local expert on a recent outing on the Ausable managed to find a nice pocket of hungry trout. Fish responded well to streamer patterns and dry flies. Low water tempuratures did not turn these fish off and in the end ten fish came to hand, the largest going eighteen inches. Dont let the oncoming winter discourage you from getting out and enjoying the great weather we have had, there is still some very good fishing to be had in the north country. Hot patterns have been black ghost streamers, olive and black zonkers, and blue winged olives.
