Rainbow Trout
Morrisville, Vermont, offers some fantastic opportunities to chase rainbow trout, particularly in the tributaries of the Lamoille River. These streams are regularly stocked, providing consistent action throughout the season. The best times are spring and fall, when water temperatures are cooler and the trout are more active. Fly fishing is popular here, with classic patterns like the Adams and Elk Hair Caddis working well. Spin anglers can also find success with small spinners or spoons. A local tip: focus on the deeper pools and runs, especially after a rainfall when the water is slightly discolored. Access to many of these streams is relatively easy via Route 100, but be sure to respect private property and only fish where access is permitted. The trout here tend to be on the smaller side, but their vibrant colors and willingness to take a fly make for a rewarding experience.
