The Owlkill River is a
major nursery tributary for the Hoosic River. Its' entrance to the main river, provides a
steady supply of wild Rainbows and Browns. Battenkill Lodge owns a one half mile, double
bank beat, featuring good holding pools and undercut banks. Though most fish are ten to
twelve inches, Browns of fourteen inches or more are taken on nymphs. The river shades
over early in the day and provides excellent afternoon dry fly activity. After soaking
rains cause the larger rivers to run high, the Owlkill will produce larger Trout on
Muddlers and Woolly Buggers.
