Camping on the Battenkill brings back many pleasant memories. My family and I used to camp there in the late '60s and '70s. For my 14th birthday, my Mom paid for me to go the Orvis Fly Fishing School in Manchester. I remember we learned to cast on bamboo rods as this was before graphite. They would let you borrow a rod overnite to fish with and I caught my first trout in the Battenkill with that rod. As I said, many pleasant memories.
