The Battenkill Rivrer is located in Vermont and New York, and is renowned for its beautiful scenery and diverse fish populations, including brook, brown, and rainbow trout. Like so many trout streams in the country, it is in constant need of protection and enhancement. In the spring and summer months it is great for dry fly fishing, especially in the evenings In the fall it can be great for catching larger trout as they prepare for winter. The Battenkill is known for its hatches, so using dry flies like Adams or Caddis patterns can be very effective. If you are fishing subsurface, consider using nymphs or streamers can be effective in the early morning or late evening. The Bennington area offers good access points and often less crowded. The Manchester area offers various access points and scenic views. There are also many state parks along the river have excellent fishing spots.
But all of this needs protection. From Trout Unlimited:
The Trout Unlimited Battenkill Home Rivers Initiative is designed to conserve, protect, and restore the Battenkill’s fishery and watershed. This effort builds off years of work by local TU chapters (Adirondack, Clearwater, and Southwestern VT), Battenkill Watershed Alliance, community, and agency partners to revitalize the Battenkill with a collaborative, watershed-wide approach.

More from Trout Unlimited's Home Water Initiatives:
The Battenkill HRI was officially launched in January 2020. Local chapter members, HRI Working Group, and TU senior staff worked together to raise the necessary funds well in advance of their original expectations. 2020 is a year with great promise, with projects in the planning process and more surveys to be completed for an even more productive 2021.
The Battenkill HRI will embody the mission and vision of Trout Unlimited. Our hope is that our conservation actions to restore the watershed today, will create sustainable populations of fish and watershed stewards for a plethora of tomorrows.
