April fishing in Vermont

Alot of the larger rivers (main stems) Battenkill, Otter, Black, Walloomsac are HIGH< COLD and are really unfishable right NOW....April in Vermont is a wild ride though....things change quickly....Ice is out on most of MY playground: St. Catherine, Bomo, Champlain, Dunmore are all fishable....Mountain ponds like Colton or Kent still have ice....Next week the Trophy area of East Creek will get stocked....I am guessing but the Danby section of Otter should get hit too....
Bug wise the upper kill is getting Blue quills, Black midges, and Black Caddis in the afternoons when its warm and the sun is out.....Below was a little fish on Lake St. Catherine for Brown Trout....and yes I let a few actually eat my fly.....I don't personally do that very often....please stay tuned....a couple weeks ago the blog had 10,000 hits....THANK YOU FOR FOLLOWING!!!!!
