Vermont Mountain Brook Trout Fly Fishing

Here in Vermont there are countless miles of mountain brooks. Some of which are teeming with Native "wild" Brook Trout. On Monday we sampled a couple and the Mountain Brook Trout bite is on!!! 6 foot 2 weight rods, short leaders, short casts and drifts with easy to see dryflies. Want to spend a fun day... try fishing Vermont mountain brooks.....July and August are the best months to target these areas. My favorite dryflies are: ausable wulffs, yellow adams wulffs, caddis, black beetles and sometimes a black ant trailing fly. These Brookies are not real big....4 to 9 inches but they have attitude and are mountain jewels. Talk about quick....sometimes these little buggers will hit a dryfly twice on a drift and not get pricked. Postcard settings, easy to read water, aggressive dryfly action during bankers hours...Give it a try soon....the Mountain Brookie bite is on!
