Our Guides Tell Us

Nate and Aaron are having a fine time guiding, instructing and getting out together to enjoy a day out on the rivers when they can.
Good things are happening on the Little River and the Winooski River around Waterbury. Nice sized rainbows and browns taking a variety of flies; Woolly Buggers, Hendriksons, March Browns and some of the guide's own concoctions. They always share their imaginative designs with clients who appreciate getting in on local know-how.
Local rivers are in great shape at this hot time of the season. A smorgasbord of insects and fine dining for the trout makes it difficult to decide on the right fly. The Blue Qwod has been holding its own and will be even more effective as the river flows approach normal and the riffley sections gather increased numbers of feeding fish.
I've been busy in the shop and need to get out for some of the action. A plan is hatching.
I'm tying a "Black Qwod" and will test it soon.
That's it for now. Hope to see you soon. Be well, Ed
