Hundreds of Vermonters braved the rain to kick off trout season on the Little River in Stowe. Peter Dulude, a lifelong fisherman, has been fishing at the same spot for decades and now brings his grandchildren along. Despite the rain, Dulude notes that the extra water can lead to a better catch, as fish are more active and looking for food.
Trout season officially began on the second Saturday in April and runs until October 31, allowing anglers to catch Brook, Brown, and Rainbow Trout with a daily limit of 8 fish. Along River Road in Stowe, people lined the water, eagerly waiting for a bite, with some sharing tales of luck like Mackenzie Dulude-Ticehurst, who caught a beautiful brown trout.
The Fly Rod Shop in Stowe saw increased business on the first day of trout season, with customers coming in to gear up despite the rain. Parker Wright of the Fly Rod Shop noted the excitement among anglers and the eagerness to get out on the river.
Overall, the first day of trout season in Vermont was a success, with many residents taking advantage of the opportunity to spend time outdoors and enjoy the sport of fishing. Despite the wet weather, the enthusiasm and dedication of anglers were evident, setting a positive tone for the season ahead.
