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

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

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

A buddy of mine and I took the new raft down the Winooski for its maiden voyage below Middlesex Dam today, and while river levels and clarity were far from ideal due to high flows out of Wrightsville Reservoir, we had a blast. Flows were actually good for floating, but the clarity was

One inch on the nose has fallen in N. Underhill as of noon; and most areas of the state got between .50-1.5" of rain. The Lamoille in Jeffersonville "had" about 2 feet of visability to it, but looking at the river flows on the USGS, the river was starting to crest up in Johnson, so dirtier

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

Lawton Weber of Pleasant Valley Fly Fishing Guides reports:
Last evenings light rain north of Rte. 2 did nothing to river levels, and while we have a bright sunny day today, there is some pretty wet weather on the way for Tuesday-Friday. .50" should fall Tuesday statewide, while areas to the north and east could see as much as 1.00". Wednesday should

Lawton Weber of Pleasant Valley Fly Fishing Guides reports:
I saw a couple of Brown Drakes on the Lamoille this evening, but the Caddis and Sulphur hatches stole the show. I found rising fish in places, but I was on the lower river and it looked like I was in the midst of a bit of a rise in water level due to a dam release upstream. We've got dry and

I had a great day today with a new client on the middle reaches of the Winooski. It was one of those days where you kinda lost count after awhile. But we took browns and bows on dries and nymphs. Because of the cooler weather, there were sulphurs around from about 2pm on. Not alot, but if you

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
