Walloomsac

[bogtrotter]

Today was Free Fishing Day in VT, so I took my annual trip to Bennington to fish the Walloomsac .

I fished from 11 AM to 6 PM.

The weather was perfect - - sunny, blue skies, 80 degrees but slight breeze - - as were the water conditions.

My performance was lack luster most of the day - - I caught three small (9" - 10") rainbows and lost a few more similar sized fish - - although I did see some other fishermen catch some nice ones. (One guy landed a 16" brown and another reeled in three good-sized rainbows).

Fortunately, my last minute of fishing made up for the rest of the day: I caught a 19" rainbow near the Henry covered bridge.

Sounds like you made out just fine. 19 inch Bow is a quality catch congrats.

Nice work Jim.  For the first weekend in many I didn't get a chance to wet a line!  (I know unreal right?)

I feel the pain Jon. Most of my weekends have been like that for several weeks. Time to put a stop to that.

I was in good hands (pun intended).  I hope the second you hit that water the crushing begins.  You deserve it!
