Now if I could just figure a way to fish the rivers and streams I used to fish, Oh well old age and balance. I did take a walker out in the Battenkill, a little tough getting out to my hole. Strange looks from passerby's in canoe's, but at least I was there, (thank you Lord)
I bought a lite bobber years ago. unscrew to replace the battery.
My brother was a great trout fisherman, all he ever used was a small silver spoon in the Battenkill River.
I myself like crawlers casting up-stream like the fellow said. My son caught a 14" trout fishing just below the rapids in calm water. He was using a crawler worm, with a premade setup consisting of a gold colored hook, with three red plastic bb,s , a tiny gold spinner. rig is about 6" long. common in most all bait stores here. Fish may have been spawning as I have seen that the fish like calm water to lay eggs. Before you become disappointed ask if any local folk have had any luck in that water.some will tell you ,some won't. Good Luck
