Summer is here in Vermont! The fishing in August is excellent. The trout fishing in Vermont is very good in the morning from 6 am to noon. Morning hatches include: Blue winged olives, tricos, yellow drakes, midges, caddis in tan, olive and dark gray. Trico spinner falls are in full swing on all major rivers. Expect hatches anytime from sunrise to lunchtime. The trips Chuck Kashner offers are half or three quarter days only until the end of August. Weighted nymphs fished near the bottom with a strike indicator will always produce fish. Down and across with wetflies, caddis pupa and nymphs are working very well in the riffles all day. Chuck Kashner's favorite flies for August: bead head hares ear, bwo wets, olive woolly buggers, trico spinners, yellow wulff, bwo usuals, and tungsten hares ear. To get prime summer dates please call or email for details. Unlike alot of states, the trout fishing is good in Vermont all summer.
