VERMONT TROPHY TROUT FISHING

Vermont fly fishing for Trout on East Creek in Rutland, Vt. is EXCELLENT!!! Rainbow Trout 15 to 22" are spread throughout the trophy area. Daily Vt. flyfishing guided trips on the Black River in Ludlow or East Creek in Rutland start at 9am. This spring has been pretty dry and the water levels have been perfect, so the hatches are well under way in most of my target areas. The fishing is very good right now. Currently, I have a bunch of prime “WEEKEND” May dates open: May 5, 12, 13, 26, and 28. There are also weekday openings, so if you want to fish with me…CALL 1 (800) 682-0103. Last year, we did very well for trophy trout on dryflies in mid-May. I am confident we will see rising Brown Trout again on the Black river this year. Vermont Hatches in early May include: Hendricksons, Rusty Spinners, Yellow Sally Stoneflies, Early Black Stones and we should start to seeing some Caddis soon. Hot flies: McCheese egg, Cherise egg, Tunsten hares ear trailed by a hendrickson nymph, soft hackles and hatching pupa. For Dry Flies: Ausable Wulff dry size 14, Hendrickson Usual, and Gray Adams size 16. Streamers: BH White Flashy, BH Brown/Copper Flashy, Shushan Postmaster and Black Nose Dace.
