I once fished the Battenkill in Vermont just over the border from Massachusetts. I let my classmate and good friend hold the pole as he was there just to observe. He felt the heavy tug of what felt to me like a 2 or 3 pounder to me. The line broke off at the hook as he passed the pole back to me. Back then I only used worms, now often do fly fishing. A great fish story that my friend got to experience too! And thanks for the advice about the electric green caddis. Superb visuals!

nice memory!

[@MrJewrican]

Great stuff Dan, glad to see temps dropping and water rising!!!

[@DownstreamDownrange]

Short temp opportunity! Fall will be spectacular! Thanks man

[@nathankhashchuk7858]

Just clicked on this video from my recommended, and I gotta say man, love it all, you've gotten yourself a new subscriber haha

[@DownstreamDownrange]

Wicked man!! Made my night I greatly appreciate it the kind words! Hopefully I can cook up something good for Fridays video this week! Have a great week

[@wildbrookies]

Really nice looking browns! Gorgeous colors and frisky and healthy releases! Thanks, now I’m itchin to get back out again. But, the furnace will be starting back up soon. Looking forward to your next vid down in the Del! Good luck and tightlines!

[@DownstreamDownrange]

Hahaha my god I think I saw 97 Degrees next week! WTF!!!! Back to praying I guess!!! Thanks man!

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

Hello Dan! Great video! Really enjoyed it!

[@DownstreamDownrange]

I appreciate you taking a look!!!

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Good one, Dan! Glad to see the water temps are ok. Those mid-90's had me worried. Think the forecast has more 90's coming but with the rain lately hopefully that helps.

[@DownstreamDownrange]

Oooooo this coming week looks like the inferno is back! ☠️☠️☠️…. Was nice to get in a small session! Hopefully fall is a good time! Let me know if you ever find time to get out!

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

@@DownstreamDownrange I was just telling someone yesterday that I haven't been out since I hit the Ausable in June! Ugh... I don't know how that much time slips by without going... Seeing the river in this video really made me want to be out there!

[@DownstreamDownrange]

@@WhiteDogTrailCompany let’s get out there in September!

[@robertgraves3215]

Gorgeous water . And you can wade without dying. I gotta fish that sometime. Good to see some video of that river that shows trees. All the old pics I saw made it look like it was all wide open meandering farmland water with bridges. and thousands of Orvis Heads flailing at brook trout that were too smart to catch. Did you stay at a campground and if so how much?

[@DownstreamDownrange]

Hahaha that’s what MOST of it is!!!! Nope I just drive for the day

[@ameri-tube5283]

Sick trip

[@DownstreamDownrange]

Meh

[@SlayermikeFishingandMORE]

I was watching and wondering if you ever hit any trees and WHAM it happened 😂 Nice Browns!

[@DownstreamDownrange]

Hahahahah!!! Oooo yah 😅

[@josiechas]

You did very well fishing in mid-summer, mid-day, gin clear water. The flies you chose worked great. I'm curious to know if you have exclusively barbless hooks on the flies you use.

[@DownstreamDownrange]

Yep! Caddis jig is barbless and the rest I crush in the vise when tying

[@DouglasLyons-yg3lv]

Any old timer will tell you that a green caddis worm is effective on the ‘kill.

[@DownstreamDownrange]

Old timers lol

Love to see some bass on a fly rather than trout which a horribly stressed this time of the year.

[@sharkfinfishing1070]

What camera do you use for those underwater shots? Sweet fish!

[@DownstreamDownrange]

GoPro!!!!

[@jaredhamburg8350]

Do you put your stonefly on the bottom? Figured it was a dry-dropper and that was your dropper... If not, is the stonefly your point fly, and a caddis jig your dropper? Thanks!

[@DownstreamDownrange]

Stone is the bottom! Caddis jig is the dropper fly higher up on the line! Same thing with orange crush. I’d have stone bottom…. I personally always have heavier fly on bottom

[@StuL7292]

Another top video. Not looking for any secrets, but are you in the special regs section?

[@DownstreamDownrange]

I’ll name certain rivers but that’s about it! Vermont was the state

[@StuL7292]

@@DownstreamDownrange Thanks….I’m on board.

what reel are you using

Maxcatch but since have upgraded

[@txoutdoorsman65]

I have never seen that section. Were you on private property?

[@DownstreamDownrange]

Respectfully I have to keep any type of locations a bit harder to find. But... I will name what rivers I fish from time to time. Thanks for taking a look and have a great week
