Fishing In Vermont

So how many of you like to fish? Fishing is one of mankind’s oldest and most popular pastimes, as well as a great way to get a tasty meal! Fishing in Vermont is very popular, as Vermont is filled with many Lakes, ponds and streams. Vermont has lots of different kinds of fish, from the little but colorful brook trout to the huge northern pike.

Also, because Vermont is so sparsely populated you can really have room to yourself, not a mad dash to get to the best areas in the morning before the other fishermen. I use to do a lot of trout fishing in the many trout streams here, and often I would fish all day without seeing anyone. Of course everyone has their preferred type of fish and way of fishing.

You can take out a boat on big Lake Champlain or the hundreds of other smaller lakes and troll for lake trout, or hug the cattails and throw a spinner out for largemouth bass. Maybe do some live bait fishing for northern pike or walleye, or lob out some cheese balls to catch some catfish. Of course most people think of fishing in Vermont for stream fishing for trout.
