Northern Vermont Fly Fishing Report
June 19, 2009
Lawton Weber of Pleasant Valley Fly Fishing Guides reports:
I was down on a trib of the Winooski this am doing a site visit for a stream restoration project our local TU chapter will be working on, and the Winooski is up and dirty. Some heavier rain fell last evening around central Vt. and the Mad river came up 2 feet and has made the Winooski very muddy downstream. In Montpelier the river is not quite as fidrty, but is high. The Lamoille, on the other hand, has not seen a big bump in water levels and overall is in better shape; particularly above Johnson. Small streams are mostly in good shape, though southern VT. streams are much higher than further north. We've got bit more rain for Saturday, though most of it "should" fall in the southern third of the state. Hatches consist of Sulphurs #14-20, Lt. Cahill (Cream Cahill/Stenonema) #12-16, Tan Caddis #14-18, Big Stones #6-12, and ants/beetles #12-20. Water temps range throughout the upper 50's and 60's. Good luck on the water!
