Anybody ever fish the White in Vt.?
When I was in my very early teens, my best friend's family had a campsite on the river. The one time I fished this river still rates as one of the best trout fishing experiences for me. I remember crossing bridges that didn't have any guardrails on them and if you stopped to look over the edge, you could see trout everywhere. The water was cold, gin clear and the trout were very cooperative.
There was a huge pool right next to the campsite and "Big Jake" as he was called lived under a log jam there. Jake was a huge brown easily pushing 7-8 lbs. We got him to turn on our - dare I say - spinners... a couple of times but that was it.
When you are in your teens and the appearance of the landscape is the last thing you are thinking about, but you still remember it vividly more than 30 years later, you know it was great...
