Vermont side of the Battenkill

We currently have the following insects making up the buffet on the Battenkill: Tricos, BWO in a size 16, black ants, beetles, tan caddis 14-18, morning spinners, and olive midges. I have been having good sucess fishing down and across in riffles until about 11 am then its time to go home or go to the mountain brooks. Canoe and tube pressure has not been very heavy this year during the week. Had a client caught a huge Brown a week ago on a size 16 dark brown beadhead...It awesome seeing the waxwings working the bugs again....Life is short= Fish often!
