Alewifes are a new bait fish food source here in Vermont. They have over taken Lake St. Catherine and are spreading heavy in Lake Champlain. The Vermont Fish and Wildlife has stocked St. Catherine with Brown Trout to control them and have created a really good new fishery. Lake Champlain already gets enough fish but their diets are changing from smelt to alewife. So this winter my flyshops needed an Alewife Pattern. You can find my Alewife fly patterns at the following shops:
Joe Jones at Great Outdoors, 219 Woodstock Ave. (rte. 4 east) Rutland Vt. 802-775-9989
This is a great shop and they carry my full line of trout flies. They also carry fishpond, rods, reels, tippet...etc....everything you need to fish in Vermont.
