Vermont Summer Patterns

We are in our summer patterns here in Vermont except on the main stem Battenkill. The Battenkill on Rte 313 is fishable now...FINALLY.... but instead of fishing tiny little stuff on the Kill like a normal end of July....swing streamers!!! A favorite combo is a size 14 black ant on the dropper trailed by a Shushan Postmaster Streamer...Ants, Ants and beetles are the hot fly patterns for a wetfly swing....there are BWO in a size 16 around and we should start seeing TRICOS...yes TRICOS....those little spinners that drive experienced fishermen nuts....mountain brooks are happening so are the lakes for warm water species...thanks for the view and please check back....since mother nature has straighten out her attitude:))) I'll try to post more often now
