"The Vermont Experience"

I woke up just in time to catch the sunrise at one of my favorite spots on the way to Vermont.

No alarm needed. The addiction was burning, and my brain was craving for what I call "the Vermont experience". Every fall over the past few years, since I discovered some of its amazing fishing locations, I tried to get at least one day of fishing there. I am still discovering new spots, but still enjoying some of the old ones. What is so special about Vermont? Well, on some of its rivers you get as close to the inner peace as you could ever be. Everything narrows down to the fly on the water and nothing else matters. And in the exact moment a fish hits your fly, the time stops and all the worries are gone....If you are a fly fisherman, you know exactly what I'm talking about, if not, well......it's not too late yet.....

  I came for the wild fish that breed  in those waters. Prepared with nymphs, especially in the cool October morning....

But little I knew....BWOs were in full hatch and the very first cast brought the first fish to the net...on a dry.

The rest of the day was just as good as I expected. Vermont is one of those special places where the beauty of the landscape is only matched by the beauty of its fish. I am already dreaming about next fall....
