Vermont's regular trout fishing season in streams ended October
31, but if you would like to enjoy excellent fall trout fishing
until cold weather interrupts, here's your opportunity.
"Avid trout anglers who don't want to put their rods away quite
yet can take advantage of mild spells during the fall and early
winter in these waters," said Rich Kirn, Vermont Fish &
Wildlife's trout project leader. "These areas also provide
anglers early fishing opportunities when we experienced good early
spring conditions for stream trout fishing, as we did this past
spring."
Catch and release trout fishing with artificial flies or lures
is open during the off season on the nine Vermont stream sections
listed below:
Black River - From the Connecticut River
boundary upstream to the top of the Lovejoy Dam in
Springfield
Lamoille River - From the Lake Champlain boundary
(top of Peterson Dam in Milton) upstream to the top of the
