Conditions Report
Tuesday, August 22, 2023
Flows on all 3 rivers (Black, White and Ottauquechee) are dropping and clearing. All eyes are on the rain forecasted Thursday into Friday. Tues-Thursday is the time to fish. Hopefully, we get less rain than predicted. The rivers are sensitive and ground is saturated so small amounts of rain through these rivers out of whack. Watch the flows and exercise caution. Getting to the Black River trophy section can be tricky as VT-131 is closed or reduced to one-lane. We are currently guiding on the Upper White River, in ponds and small streams. Call for more information and availability.
