Fresh Water Fishing in Vermont. Vermont offers the greatest variety of fresh water fishing in the Northeast. From the start of trout fishing on the second Saturday in April to the cool weather of late Autumn, Vermont's waters provide fantastic opportunities for anglers of all tastes. Vermont's lakes and streams are home to more than 20 popular species of game and panfish, offering fishing for anglers of all tastes and experience levels. Vermont is well known for its "cold-water" trout and landlocked salmon fishing. Innumerable icy brooks seep down off the Green Mountains into beaver ponds and streams, providing superb angling for native brook trout, as well as larger rainbow and brown trout. Lake Willoughby is renowned for its lake trout and landlocked salmon fishing. The Clyde River has an outstanding run of landlocked Atlantic salmon in May when water levels bring in schools of smelt and baitfish for a feeding frenzy.  [Top]
