Vermont rainbow trout and salmon run Vermont fishing guide Vermont fishing - VT fishing informaton about Fishing in Vermont from Vermont Living Magazine

It's an annual fishing event that has been going on for centuries and probably longer. The Rainbow Trout and Salmon fight their way upstream, jumping the rapids of the Willoughby River to arrive at their destination - the deep cold waters of Lake Willoughby. Fishermen come from miles around to line the shores and wade in the waters of the Willoughby River in hopes of landing a hungry Rainbow Trout or Landlocked Salmon.
