“I’ve done two floats now with Christian, both were excellent. He’s a great guide, and can read your skill level and accommodate how you want to fish while still putting you on many solid fish. Both floats saw over 20 fish of appreciable size to the net. A master behind the oars, and a true gentleman. You can’t go wrong with Green Mountain Angler!”
Meet your guide: Christian betit
Hi, I'm Christian Betit, the owner of Green Mountain Angler. I was born in Bennington, Vermont and have been fishing the rivers and streams of New England my whole life. I love spending time on the water - but I love sharing the joy of fly fishing with others even more.
That's why when you're on the water with Green Mountain Angler, you not only have an opportunity to catch some amazing fish, you also get an intimate, first-hand experience with all the nature that surrounds you. From beaver tail slaps, to deer trotting through the brush, to flocks of cedar waxwings feeding on the insect hatch, to minks running along the river bank, you never know what you might see. You just gotta get out there to see it!
