Vermont Hot Fly List

These are the patterns you need for fly fishing in southern Vermont. tungsten bead head hares ear sz.10, 12, 14.. hendrickson nymph unweighted sz. 12.. pheasant tail sz. 14, 16.. black hares ear (if water is dirty).. Shushan postmaster streamer.. thunder creek dace.. cone head flashy muddler.. blue quill usual dry sz.16.. hendrickson usual dry sz. 12, 14.. ausable wulff.. kashner black midge sz.18.. black stone or caddis sz 16.. McEggs in pink, spawn and mellow.. I like a 9 foot leader with a 4x tippet. Best times to fish are 10am to 4pm.

The Hendrickson hatch started but with the cold snap is on hold...look for bugs in the afternoon
