Thanks to everyone who reads the BKO fishing report, coming to you directly from the banks of the Battenkill.

It’s a daily routine I’ve really come to look forward to.

Been trying for a long time to capture this elusive fella. The Scarlet Tanager.

Trust me, he knows.

When a summer storm rolled through the valley, it left this behind.

Capturing moments like this is a lot like fishing. You have to be in the right spot, at the right time, and get a little lucky.

For me, there’s not much better than being out in my canoe in the Adirondacks at first light, fly rod in hand, with the loons calling across the water.

It never ceases to amaze me that places like this still exist.

Get outside. Find yourself. And say hi to the loons.

I had the pleasure of taking out yet another awesome father + son combo.

Art had been telling his son, Ben, for nearly 20 years that he wanted to get into fly fishing, and this trip marked the beginning of that journey.

Right on cue, a beautiful wild Battenkill brown trout took an emerging wet fly on the swing, exactly where I suggested it might.

Sometimes we all get lucky. Even the guide.

Great work, Art! Welcome to fly fishing and all the adventures it will bring you and Ben.

Katie joined us for her first fly fishing experience and landed a beautiful wild brown trout we will not soon forget.

This fish gave us a run for our money, but after a memorable fight, we were able to bring it safely to the net.

Catching a wild brown like this is always special, but the time on the water is what it is really all about. Great people, otters cruising by, birds doing their thing, and the chance to experience the Battenkill in a way that stays with you long after the day is over.

Another epic experience in the books, and yes, we love getting a beautiful brown in the net too.

Thanks for the assist Rockspring Nets + Fulling Mill for the right fly.
