Vermont does have some beauties.

 

Walk and Wade

We will spend either a full or half day exploring the rivers and streams of Vermont on foot. Vermont has and abundance of beautiful free stone streams and rivers that provide excellent dry fly and nymph fishing. At Stream and Brook we do our best to make sure that the experience is as enjoyable as the instruction. Whether it's stalking brookies in the cool mountain streams or casting clear across a river to a sipping brown we are there to support. We are happy to build these trips around your schedule.

Fighting a nice Roaring Brook
Water all to yourself is something Vermont has a lot of.

 

Hooked into an Ottaquechee Gorge Rainbow
Wild Brook Trout provide great dry fly action all season.

 

Float Tube Trips

High in the mountains of Vermont lie a number of untapped treasures. Small lakes and ponds, well off the beaten path, filled with fish that have had little to no angling pressure. The only way to fish these waters is from a float tube. After a short hike, nothing this good comes easy, you can be finning around an isolated mountain pond pulling in brook trout normally seen only in Maine or Canada.

Each person $250

These are full day trips that may involve hiking, in some cases up to an hour.  Float tubes are a great way to experience water that may not see any other flies all season. This is only recommended for experienced anglers, casting from a tube is challenging.

Vermont Big Game

Along with trout and small mouth, VT has some less well known species that can provide some amazing fly fishing action. Many of these are warm water species that offer an alternative to trout streams in the heat of the summer. This year we are beginning to offer trips that focus on fish like: Northern Pike, Gar, Bowfin, Sheephead(drum). These are all fish that can reach large sizes and we fish with 8-10wt rods. Often these trips will be done in a canoe so we would be limited to 2 anglers per trip. The guides for these trips are limited as well so plenty of advance notice is appreciated.

8 hr trip $250/person

5 hr trip $175/person

 

 

Otter Creek Canoe Trip

Take a slow float down the Otter in search of: rainbows, browns, pike, bass. This is a chance to see part of this great stream that most people never get to see and fish runs that might get hit a few times a season. Fishing from the boat and stopping frequently to fish some of the deep bend pools and gravel bars you will have prime access to some great water.
4-6hrs $175/person.

Hopper to Mouse

You don't have to travel all the way to New Zealand or Alaska to catch big trout on Grass Hopper & Mouse flies. Right here in, Vermont there are plenty of hungry fish, waiting for you!
Spend about two hours searching local rivers with the Grass Hopper. If you are used to casting small dries and making delicate cast to finicky trout, you have to try this.
Trout go crazy for Hoppers... they strike at it multiple times till they have it in their mouth. Then we scoop them up with the net & gently release them back to the river.
For the next two hours we tie on the Mouse Fly! Any fish that dares to try and eat a Mouse is one that I want to catch, you will to. From big Brown Trout to Smallmouth Bass we will show you why working a Mouse Fly through our local waters is a blast.
This trip is set up for experienced anglers and you better eat your "Wheaties " before our guides pick you up. Steady wading is a must. Be ready for explosive top water action that is often overlooked. This type of trip was recently written about in the Drake magazine & Mid- Western guides have been teaching this for years.

 

 

What to Bring on Any Trip

The following items will help to ensure a safe and enjoyable trip:
- sun glasses (polarized if possible)
- rain layer
- spare socks & shirt

Stream and Brook will provide anything you might not have as well as drinks and snacks for the trips.

Group Rates are available for parties of 5 or more. 
A 25% deposit is required for group trips.
