About Your Vermont Fly Fishing Guide: Fly fishing is in John's blood - his father hailed from Western North Carolina with 3 generations of fly fisherman while his Mom was from Manhattan with a father who built a small cabin by hand on the banks of the Beaverkilll in upstate NY. John's first trout was taken at an early age on this famed NY river and he's brought several thousand more to hand in Western Carolina, NH, VT and places beyond over the years. As time went by and opportunities presented John pursued trout across the globe, from the Western American rivers, creeks and high altitude lakes to the rivers and streams of Labrador, New Zealand and Europe. Some of his escapades and fish have been chronicled in the Orvis News and American Angler Magazine.
John has been a fly fishing in southern Vermont for over 30 years and a licensed and endorsed Vermont fly fishing guide for the past six years.

Three months before I sold my business I dreamed of the first couple of things that I would do when I locked my door for the last time. . The first was to visit my son who lived out of state. The second was to wet a line with my old college roommate John Rogers. Back in college John would guide me , some 30 plus years ago ....long before he became a professional accomplished guide. We fished the Wallomsac and the Hoosic. Not only did he put me on the fish , but educated me on the area and fisheries as well. Thanks for the memories. Cant wait to return

My wife and I and our 14-year old son went out for a day of fishing with John Rogers as our guide. John is an amazing guide! He knows how to fish, but more importantly, he knows how to teach people to fish. He spent time with my 14-year-old son and really worked with him to know what flies to use and how to cast where the fish will bite. We would highly recommend John for anyone looking for a great fishing experience! Can’t wait to come back to Vermont and do it again! Thanks John for a great day!

John was very knowledgeable and provided an incredible experience. I was a first timer and he made me feel like an expert by the end of the day. I had so much fun.

The knowledge I learned alone was worth the trip, then there were fish! And some more fish, then a few fish more. John Rogers was the most knowledgeable guide you could ask for!

Wonderful day on the Battenkill with John Rogers. John is a very knowledgeable guide and teacher. Most importantly his positive attitude and guidance made for a very memorable day on the river. No doubt that I have found a great guide and friend to fish the Battenkill!
