MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - Anglers across Vermont are gearing up for the 2015 trout season.
The traditional trout fishing season opens next Saturday, April 11.
Vermont fisheries Director Eric Palmer says many of the biggest brown and rainbow trout caught in Vermont rivers each year are taken during the spring season.
He says the cold, high water early in the season may force anglers to use different techniques to tempt sluggish fish, as the spring temperatures rise, “the action can really pick up.”
Fish and Wildlife plans to stock 18,000 trophy trout throughout Vermont this year. Anglers will be able to fish over 34 miles of rivers and 28 lakes and ponds that are designated as trophy water.
