Fishing Vermont & New York
OUR WATERS AND SEASON
Vermont and eastern New York offer plenty of waters that produce good quality habitat for trout and other cool water fish. From small mountain streams to gently flowing rivers our waters are quite varied. Brook, Brown, and Rainbow trout are present, with the fisheries being both wild and stocked fish. Our season runs from the beginning of May till the end of October, some years into Early November if conditions are good.
SOUTHERN VERMONT & NEW YORK
My home waters include the famous Battenkill and other local streams. I focus on five major watersheds in the region, all within a 1 hour drive from Manchester. These small to medium-sized streams contain wild trout or a mixture of wild and stocked fish. The Taconic region streams offer the best opportunity to fish for wild trout in New England. Many times we fish both the NY and Vermont sections of watersheds. See Lodging for this area.
THE GEAR WE USE
Depending on our fishing, we might use anything from a 3 to 7 wt. outfits. For most of our fishing 4-5 weight rods are good. You can use felt waders in Vermont and New York (please remember to disinfect after you fish.) which makes wading easier. Remember to wear "earthy " colors of clothing and raingear. Insect repellent,sunscreen lotion,and polarized sunglasses should round out the gear.
