Fish the legendary rivers of southern Vermont and Eastern NY with seasoned fly fishing guide, John Rogers. The area streams and rivers where home waters of Lee Wolfe, Charles Orvis and John Atherton to name just a few. Manchester, as your central hub, offers tons of wonderful hotels, restaurants and activities great for the entire family but if you're all about the fishing there's 6 diverse and equally wonderful steams where you can chase wild browns, hold over rainbows, or native brookies - with over 120 miles of river to choose from you're sure to have a blast. Wade fish or for the ultimate experience book John's drift boat and get to the untouched places and less pressured fish. Either way how can you go wrong in the valley's and streams of the Taconic and Green Mountain ranges.&nbsp; About Your Vermont Fly Fishing Guide: Fly fishing is in John's blood - his father hailed from Western North Carolina with 3 generations of fly fisherman while his Mom was from Manhattan with a father who built a small cabin by hand on the banks of the Beaverkilll in upstate NY. John's first trout was taken at an early age on this famed NY river and he's brought several thousand more to hand in Western Carolina, NH, VT and places beyond over the years. As time went by and opportunities presented John pursued trout across the globe, from the Western American rivers, creeks and high altitude lakes to the rivers and streams of Labrador, New Zealand and Europe. Some of his escapades and fish have been chronicled in the Orvis News and American Angler Magazine. John has been a fly fishing in southern Vermont for over 30 years and a licensed and endorsed Vermont fly fishing guide for the past six years.

Battenkill River Fishing Well

<div>i got out for a few hours this afternoon on my home water, the Vermont side of the Battenkill River. &nbsp;The river is starting to take shape, the bugs were out and the fish were paying attention. &nbsp;Several quality wild trout were landed and one monster in the 25" range - just about all my Orvis Recon 3wt. could handle.</div>
