Hello there. My name is Doug Lyons and I am the author of Fly Fishing Guide to the Battenkill (Stackpole Books, September 2023). My book is not only a comprehensive guide to fishing the Battenkill but also includes a comprehensive history of the river as well as a detailed review of ongoing conservation efforts.
​
Flies on the Fly is a work in progress. The idea is based on the vegtable stands that are so common in the area but instead of vegetables, I will sell prepackaged sets of flies pertinent to the conditions. You can purchase a few flies on the fly!
​
I am using this space to promote the book, of course, but more importantly to provide updated fishing conditions as well as publicizing any upcoming opportunities to support the ongoing conservation / restoration activities in the watershed.
​
You will be able to find this information on my blog, which I will update frequently.
​
Finally, I present to fishing clubs and Trout Unlimited chapters throughout the Northeast and if you are interested in a presentation about the Battenkill or fly fishing by all means reach out.
