Northern Vermont Fly Fishing Report

Lawton Weber of Pleasant Valley Fly Fishing Guides reports:

I do recall calling mother nature a bitch back in May...and while some folks may have questioned the karmic implications of such a comment, the fact is after the past week...she has not proven me wrong! I had a couple of glorious days on the Big C before the rains arrived last Friday; with good numbers of wild bows and browns up to 16", highlighted by a mo [...]

Lawton Weber of Pleasant Valley Fly Fishing Guides reports:

We've had some windy, weird weather over the past two days, and I'll be happy when its gone. It's kept temps down enough to keep the big rivers from hitting 70, but I saw very little bug activity and rising fish seemed to be a bit rarer despite lowering water levels. I was on the Big C yesterday and we had some of the strongest winds I've ever had to [...]

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.

Arkansas Fish & Game Weekly Fly Fishing Report

White River

6/17/09

John Berry from Berry Brothers Guide Service said the pattern on the White was for around-the-clock generation of moderate flows with a few significant periods of no generation. This created some excellent conditions for drift fishing and some limited but excellent wading. The catch-and-release section below Bull Shoals Dam has been fishing extremely well. Anglers reported success on midge larva pattern [...]

Lawton Weber of Pleasant Valley Fly Fishing Guides reports:

As of 3pm, a line of heavy rain is moving out the northern 'Dacks into the northwestern portion of Vt. It looks Franklin County will get hit the hardest early on...but that isn't exactly trout country. Portions of the Lamoille watershed will get a bit, and then in the next few hours portions of central Vermont should see some of these pop up downpours. Then t [...]

Lawton Weber of Pleasant Valley Fly Fishing Guides reports:

Today reminded me of the spring weather that hits southern NZ routinely...all 4 seasons in one day! I took a group up to the Upper Ct today, and while conditions were far from ideal, everyone managed to catch fish on nymphs. Once the hail started floating down the river and piling up on the ground, we called it a day. The big rivers should start to be in ok shpae in thei [...]

The lake level at Bull Shoals Dam rose one and eight tenths feet to rest at seventeen and five tenths of a foot above power pool of 654.00 feet. This is twenty three and five tenths feet below the top of flood pool. Up stream, Tab [...]

Lawton Weber of Pleasant Valley Fly Fishing Guides reports:

I managed to squeeze in a instructional trip today on the Winooski, and whew, that southeast wind was raw! Nothing was hatching and I only saw two rises, but my client learned the fundamentals and hooked a couple of fish along the way. Water temp was around 58F at noon. We've got some monster rains on the way with a flood watch issued for all of Vermont except Rut [...]

Northern Vermont Fly Fishing Report

May 22, 2009

Lawton Weber of Pleasant Valley Fly Fishing Guides reports:

I guided on a stretch of the Winooski above Montpelier today, and we did real well, landing over a dozen browns and wild bows up to 14". They took both nymphs and dries. Water levels have improved big time on the Winooski below Montpelier as releases out of Wrightsville Reservoir have been reduced by over 100cfs. The Lamoille is also in great shape. It has now be [...]

Northern Vermont Fly Fishing Report

May 21, 2009

Lawton Weber of Pleasant Valley Fly Fishing Guides reports:

The Winooski continues to be a bit high to really do well right now, and the bright hot weather only made it tougher. We did land a 17" brown, but it was tough work. Caddis and a few Sulphurs were hatching late this am, and there were quite a few rusty spinners in the eddies, but no risers. No nasty weather in the forecast, and other than parts of the Winooski an [...]

Lawton Weber of Pleasant Valley Fly Fishing Guides reports:

Flows out of Wrightsville Resevoir into the North Branch of the Winooski are really delaying some otherwise great conditions on the Winooski. I guided down in Waterbury and it was tough going. You really needed to be able to cast a heavy rig quite far into deep water to get hook-ups, which we did, but it was really tough in most spots. The Winooski above Montpelier is [...]

Lawton Weber of Pleasant Valley Fly Fishing Guides reports:

The Winooski was still high, so I went back to a trib of the Lamoille and saw not quite as good of a Quill Gordon hatch, but there was a really nice Caddis hatch at the same time. Water levels are about a day off from being in "the zone". The Lamoille is in better shape overall than the Winooski clarity and level wise. Once they reduce flows on Wrightsville [...]
