You're going to be camping on the "Battenkill" and you're asking about streams to fish? Have you checked a map of the area? You're camping on one of the best and toughest streams in Vermont. Orvis is just down the road, stop and ask them for tips and tricks and flies to use.

Al,
I know the tough reputation of Battenkill. I was just looking for tips on other streams.Thanks for your response
Sorry Joe, But when I'm over that way I only fish the Battenkill. I suppose there are smaller feeder streams that flow into the Battenkill, Orvis would know best for that area.

I have been a frequent lurker and thought that I would chime in on this topic. I usually make an annual pilgrimage to Manchester. I usually fish the Battenkill in the Early Morning and then late afternoon and evening, (Tubers take over during the sunshine hours). In the afternoon I fish a little stream called the Mettowee. Orvis will give you directions and access points.
Joe,
During the school year I'm an English teacher, but over the summer I work for Orvis in Manchester. Send me an email before you leave for your trip, and I'll see if I can't make some time to show you around. At the very least I'll give you the "where, when and how." Just promise me your tight-lipped confidence and I'll point you in the right direction.
Enjoy your trip.
