Guide Owen Ward on Vermont’s White River
Back in the spring, I took a float trip down Vermont’s White River. My guide was Owen Ward, who at the time was head Orvis guide for The Woodstock Inn. Ward is also a New Hampshire Licensed Guide. Since leaving the Woodstock Inn, he has joined TBC Guide service http://www.tbcguides.fish. You can also find Owen at 781-718- 2231 or on Instagram @freestone_fanatic.

The trip was postponed several times because of high water. Truth is in recent years flooding has hit Vermont often in the spring, but we finally got in the Owen’s white-water raft and headed down stream, starting in Stockbridge and fishing our way toward Bethel. It was a bright day, under blue skies, perfect for our angling adventure. The scenery was gorgeous.
While we caught small rainbows early, the highlight of the day was catching two big beautiful wild rainbows. Man, they fought like steelhead, jumping several times and making great runs. It proved to be a fantastic float on the White River. I highly recommend Owen Ward to you. Give him as shout.
