Landlocked Salmon Fishing (Seasonal)

In the Spring and Fall, Vermont’s resident Landlocked Atlantic Salmon begin their migration out of the big lake and into select tributaries where they will chase spawning bait fish in the Spring or engage in their own Fall spawning ritual, completing their circle of life.
These salmon are some of the best fighting, acrobatic fish that fly anglers will ever pursue and an absolute must for anglers visiting Vermont in the Spring and Fall.
