Southern Vermont Fly Fishing

We fished the black river yesterday and will be there again today. Tan/sandy caddis!!! are hatching in pretty good numbers. Didn't see many hendrickson duns hatching but there were plenty of spinners bouncing around. It was a little crowded first thing in the morning but it was managable with plenty of spots. By lunchtime.... "MAN BURGER"time...we pretty much had the river to ourselves.

Hot flies yesterday: McCheese egg, Cherise egg, Tunsten hares ear trailed by a hendrickson nymph, soft hackles....caddis dry size 14. Only saw fish rising in two spots. The first spot only a couple rises....the second spot there were 4 different fish working of which they all tried to eat our caddis.

Time to load the shore meal stuff and hit the road and start another day guiding fly fishing in Vermont.
