Book Private Fly Fishing Water in Vermont
Vermont is hallowed ground for fly anglers: the Battenkill, where Orvis was founded in 1856, still runs with wild, wary brown trout, while the White River and countless Green Mountain freestoners hold wild brook trout and steady mayfly and caddis hatches. Lake Champlain adds big-water variety with smallmouth, lake trout, and landlocked salmon. AnglerPass connects anglers to private and club-managed stretches across these storied waters.
