UPPER BATTENKILL DRYFLY ACTION!!!

With two really nice days in a row of sun and high 50's....we saw our first mayflies and rising trout of the 2009 season. It was limited target wise. Saw early black stones, more black midges, some blue quills and even a handful of hendricksons! We didn't expect it, so we really didn't have alot of time on the right spots. Caught fish on adams 18, blue quill usual 16, hendrickson usual 14, and when surface action slowed we caught them on a size 14 tungsten bead head. It is only going to get better with the weather forecast. Today is going to be high 50's and tomorrow in the 60's....It has begun! Vermont fly fishing for trout in southern vermont.
