Haven't done it in two or so years but I use to hit Central
Vermont on a regular basis around the first week in June. Over the
years, a caddis dry was the go to pattern. I prefer the CDC and Elk
over the EHC. Size 10 to 14. Dark gray or gray-brown with a light
tan wing(10-14). Olive body, medium brown wing(12-14). Chartreuse
body, light tan wing(14) and one off beat one with a black body, tied with
chartreuse thread and a dark brown wing. Another fly I've done well on is
a midge pattern that resembles a black fly, size 20 or smaller, A
black/red-brown CDC body, wrapped like a CDC and Elk with a white CDC
wing.
I fished rivers like the Ouattaquechee between Ludlow and Woodstock,
and the Black between Plymouth Union and Echo Lake, then below Ludlow in
the special regs section. Always go a trip to the White more for the
smallmouth than the trout. I've got a couple of trips to the Dog, a smaller
river not that far from Burlington. If you can get hold of a Gazetteer,
the small streams off the dirt roads still hold brookies. Might even get
lucky and stumble on a beaver pond loaded with brookies like I did three or four
years ago.

Thanks for all the replies so far. I'm getting excited. I don't know that I want to go striper fishing though - too many trout that I haven't caught... |
