Types of Vermont Guided Fishing Trips

General Inland

Vermont freshwater fishing guides fish out of smaller boats or from shore and take 1-3 anglers out at a time.  These fishing guides are located throughout the state fishing Vermont’s fresh water lakes and rivers. These inland fishing guides often target largemouth bass, stripers, northern pike, and landlocked salmon.  Popular locations include Lake Champlain, The Connecticut River, Lake Bomoseen, and many lakes and rivers throughout the state.

Fly Fishing

Vermont fly fishing guides can provide a traditional fly fishing experience from drift boats or shore on beautiful rivers and streams casting to natural rainbow trout, brown trout, and brook trout.  Our Maine fly fishing guides fish on most public rivers, steams, and lakes.  The Battenkill, Willoughby, and Connecticut rivers all offer fantastic traditional fly fishing opportunities.  Vermont fly fishing guides can help teach a beginner to cast a fly rod or help a seasoned fly fisherman locate more fish.

Ice Fishing

Although guided ice fishing trips are dependent on ice conditions, Vermont ice fishing guides have great success throughout the state.  Many guides offer portable heated shanties and electronics to locate the fish and keep you warm.  Vermont ice fishing guides consistently ice walleye, bass, trout, pike, and panfish.  Chase away “cabin fever” fishing through Vermont’s hard water!
