Coffee colored 50-degree high water at Shawmut Tail water. No fish are surface feeding. Trout would have difficulty seeing the biggest nymph I could drift. I thought a good choice might be something bright white, large enough to be seen, heavy enough to sink near the bottom. I could have used a sink tip line or a sinking head, but I was fishing shallow drop-offs, in maybe 3 feet of water.  I extended the tippet to 3 feet of 3X.

Top choice today was a gold cone head Dart. White "Polar Fibre" wing with a collar of Mylar braid and red thread gills.
