Rainbow Trout
For rainbow trout in the Jacksonville, Vermont area, the Deerfield River is a viable option, particularly the sections downstream from Harriman Reservoir. Stocking programs supplement the wild population, providing anglers with consistent opportunities. Spring and fall, when water temperatures are cooler, offer the best fishing. Consider using small spinners, spoons, or drifting nymphs through riffles and pools. Fly fishing can also be effective, matching the local hatches. Wading is possible in many sections, but be mindful of water levels, which can fluctuate due to dam releases. Check the Vermont Fish & Wildlife website for the latest stocking reports. Public access points are located along Route 100, providing convenient entry to the river. A valid Vermont fishing license is required, and familiarize yourself with any specific regulations for the Deerfield River regarding size and bag limits.
