Vermont Wild Trout Streams |

The State of Vermont has officially designated 6 river segments as "wild trout
streams" as part of a 5 year trial. (Click on the icons in
the map below to bring up a topographic map of each designated segment;
click here for a list.) In addition, several larger Vermont streams support wild
trout populations and are presently managed without stocking including
the Batten Kill, Castleton River from Ira to Fairhaven, Furnace Brook,
and the Poultney River. Of course, Vermont is best known for its hundreds of miles of upland wild brook trout streams. These are not listed anywhere that I can find. However, virtually any stream above 2,000 ft. (if it's large enough) should be outstanding habitat (all Vermont streams above 2,500 ft. are classified as Class A(1) by the Water Resources Board).
Map Data Source: VGIS © 2006 State of Vermont The illustration above was created in ArcExplorer, and shows all of the streams and waterbodies in the state (coded up to a nominal 1:5,000 scale) against a base map plotting elevation contours. The magenta areas are highlands, and provide some indication of where there might be upland brook trout fishing.
