There are fish about out front…. Put in the effort and be rewarded. Forage is plentiful in various sizes, so be willing to change flies and tactics. There is even a blitz or two happening sporadically, a good sign things are shaping up for fall. Get out there this weekend, be safe, and most importantly, have fun!

New England is giving up her goods! The recent storms have washed out our local freestones in CT, but water to the north, whether it be the Farmington, Housatonic, or this unnamed river in Vermont, are still chock full of fish.
