Fly Fishing in Vermont

Vermont

Quiet Waters, Classic Trout Fishing

Vermont's clear mountain streams, quiet valleys, and forested landscapes provide the perfect setting for classic New England fly fishing. While it's one of the smaller states in the country, Vermont is home to an impressive variety of trout water, from tiny brook trout streams to larger rivers known for dependable hatches and healthy wild fish. It's a place where scenic beauty and great fishing go hand in hand.

The Battenkill, White, Black, and Connecticut Rivers are among Vermont's best-known fisheries, producing excellent fishing for wild brown, rainbow, and brook trout. Countless smaller streams flowing through the Green Mountains offer opportunities to catch native brook trout in remote, picturesque settings, while many lakes and ponds support trout and landlocked salmon fisheries throughout the year.

Vermont is a destination for anglers who appreciate a slower pace and traditional fly fishing. Whether casting dry flies during a summer hatch, exploring a forgotten mountain brook, or fishing a quiet river on a crisp fall afternoon, Vermont offers the kind of timeless experience that has drawn fly anglers to New England for generations.
