Fly Fishing Dog River Vermont
The Dog River is considered one of the best brown trout
streams in Vermont. It's a beautiful river that flows
through wooded hills and beautiful farmland and dairy
farms. It's a tributary of the Winooski River. Fly fishing
the Dog River can be a true pleasure as well as
rewarding. Some brown trout exceeds twenty inches.
The stream starts north of Roxbury and flows through
Northfield. Vermont highway #12 leading out of
Montpelier follows along or nearby the stream. Public
access points are located off of the highway. At
Northfield Center, highway #12 A follows the stream.
More access points can be found off of this highway.
This is mostly a brown trout stream but it does have
some rainbows. It also has some brook trout in its
uppermost section. It's an easy stream to wade with
plenty of aquatic insect hatches. The wild brown trout
can be very selective and sometimes it's necessary to
match the hatch.
In 2010, the river was changed to strictly a "catch and
release" stream. This was done to increase the
population of trout. This should greatly benefit the
stream.
Season:
The season for fly fishing the Dog River runs from
middle April to near the end of October.
Spring:
Spring is the best time to fish the Dog River due to its
hatches
Summer:
Summertime is good on all but the hottest days.
Fall:
Fall is the best time to catch the large brown trout
because of the spawn.
