We have been in low water mode for the last several weeks. The forecast is for rain today and next couple days....and WE NEED IT!!! When low water mode is in affect... the best game in town is the main stem Battenkill in Arlington off of Rte 313. I have to admit I love the Battenkill for better or worst....its a tough river, approach needs to be stealthy, leaders need to be long and drifts have to be perfect.
We have seen improved populations of Trout especially Brook Trout with the NO KILL
regulation. Tricos, BWO, Caddis 16, 18 and Isonychia are currently hatching....My best flies have been: BH nymph 16, 18, Trico/BWO nymph 18 and a Trico Dun Thorax dry...I have openings, the horse show is over finally....Brook Trout are on the chew, lets go fishing!
