Vermont Mountain Brook Trout Fly Fishing

Vermont has a ton of small mountain brooks. Some which are teeming with native wild Brook Trout. We sampled a couple yesterday and the bite is on!!! Using a 6' 2 weight and wulff style dryflies....mountain Brookies are the jewels of the Green Mountains. Want to talk about fast....those little buggers can hit a fly twice on the same drift and never get pricked. Short rods, short leaders, short drifts.....away from other fishermen in postcard settings...the mountain brookie fishing is a nice change of pace. Alot of days while guiding, we'll spend time in the morning on the bigger water and then move to the mountains. My all time favorite fly patterns are: Ausable and /or yellow wulff
