FishingIt is no wonder that folks come from far and wide for the fishing year-round! The many deep lakes, secluded ponds, and rushing streams punctuated by trout holes are home to many species. Expect to hook large trout, salmon, muskellunge and more! In 2003, Shawn Dutil caught a 35 lb, 3.2 oz trout from Lake Willoughby (the Vermont State record).
The lakes are always an extraordinary fishing experience. The Willoughby River is also a "hot spot" for fly-fishing trout. The Barton and Black Rivers are good spots as well and the Clyde River has an outstanding run of landlocked Atlantic salmon.
