Wild Vermont Battenkill Brown Trout
I had a few hours this morning so got out on my home waters, Vermont Battenkill River, to get the rust off and to see how my peeps made it through the winter. It was snowing with air temps in the high 30’s and water temps in the low 40’s, water was certainly up but manageable. Straight light, drop shot tandem nymph rig on a Orvis Recon 10’ 3wt did the trick. A bit thin but healthy 20” wild Vermont Battenkill brown trout danced with me and posed for pictures.
