What is Provided:
Our all-inclusive trips really are just that. All you have to do is come with the clothing you need for fishing. Your guide will have a full stock of Orvis fly rods and reels, vests, waders, flies, lines, leaders, and tippets you will need. With all of that said, please feel free to bring your favorite rod and equipment. The guides are more than happy to accommodate. Full-day trips include a lunch with beverages.
Gear Recommendations:
Our guides will outfit you with all the Orvis fishing gear you will need, however feel free to bring your own equipment if you prefer. For both our lessons and excursions, we recommend you bring clothing for fishing and local weather (we advise layers, a raincoat and lightweight gloves), a hat, polarized sunglasses (for protection during casting class and guided trips), insect repellent, and sunscreen.
What to Bring:
We recommend you bring a water bottle, extra clothing layers, a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, bug repellent, and a camera to document your big catch!
Season:
We typically fish April-October, however certain year-round options for lessons and excursions are available (weather permitting).
Springtime and fall bring the best trout fishing in the area. When the weather and water warms up in July and August, we tend to move to the small brooks and streams and target some warm-weather species like bass and panfish.
Species:
- Brown trout
- Brook trout
- Rainbow trout
- Smallmouth bass
Region/Terrain:

The White River
Trips available year-round on this nearby (20-minute drive) large river with some challenging and deep waters.

Small Rivers and Brooks:
The Ottauquechee River
The Ottauquechee River flows through town and is a fun river to learn in and explore.
The Kedron Brook
The Kedron Brook runs right through the town of Woodstock and has wonderful pools that make it worthy of exploration.

The Barnard Brook is a quick drive to beautiful waters where, in the summer months, we cast for wild fish.

Local Ponds
These beautiful ponds offer trout and bass in a beautiful setting. Our guides will be available to give you tips as you cast from shore or in one of our Clacka-Craft drift boats.
Typical Weather:
Early spring weather can be chilly (40-50 degrees F), and the waters run cold with snowmelt. Dress in layers and bring a raincoat. Summers are typically sunny, and temperatures range from 65-85 daily, sunscreen is important! Fall cools down again, but the sun can warm up to 75 during the day so dress in layers. Winters are cold and thermal layers are important if you head out on the waters. Temperatures do not usually get above 35 degrees.
