Its June....the purple and white phlox are blooming...and the Vermont Trout fishing is excellent!
Last week, we had some very needed rain and some rivers were unfishable on Friday May 29th. But, the Black fished well and the branches of the Battenkill also produced. Currently for hatches I am seeing the following bugs: tan caddis 14, 16, Yellow Sallys 12, 14 (finally...they are late), cahills and sulfurs are building in nightly numbers, rusty spinners after 7pm.
Hot patterns:
fishing down and across: Bh hares ear sz 12 with a caddis pupa trailer, shushan postmaster trailer with a light cahill wet on the dropper, or a march brown nymph with a light cahill wet trailer.
strike indicator (chuck and duck): Tungsten hares ears 10 to 14, march browns sz. 12, Queeche brown nymphs.
Dryflies: Sulfur usual/compradun, Light cahill, tan caddis, rusty spinners.
The Vermont fly fishing is excellent> GO FISHING TONIGHT!
