Brown Trout
Jacksonville, Vermont, nestled in the Deerfield River Valley, offers some decent brown trout fishing, primarily in the Deerfield River itself and its tributaries. The Deerfield is a tailwater fishery, meaning the water released from upstream dams influences its temperature and flow. This can create consistent conditions for brown trout, but also means you should be aware of potential water level changes. Spring and fall are prime times, with hatches occurring throughout the season. Nymph fishing is productive, especially with patterns imitating mayflies and caddisflies. Wading access is possible in many areas, but be cautious of slippery rocks and swift currents. A Vermont fishing license is a must, and check the regulations for any specific sections of the river, as some areas may have catch-and-release restrictions. Look for public access points along Route 100; these provide parking and easy entry to the river.
