Southern Vermont Trophy Trout Fishing

This week East Creek, Otter Creek and the Black River were stocked with trophy trout. (14 to 22"). Each of these rivers can fish well into the end of June. My Vermont Fly Fishing Guide Service will be touring these rivers throughout this period.

The best fly pattern on Otter the last couple days was a size 6 BH White flashy fly. We caught all our fish on Otter Creek stripping streamers. This year the VT. State fish and wildlife dept. added a bunch of Brook Trout to the Otter Program. Talk about being active....Aggressive Brook Trout hitting size 6 streamers.

East Creek is currently a nymphing game. Having alot of riffles, East Creek has been a great target over the last three years. Just like in the Black River.....Rainbows like breakfast all day so feed them eggs.

Walleye season opens tomorrow, Turkey season opened today.....MAY is here!!!!!
