Vermont's Wild Brook Trout A Hidden Treasure

Vermont ~ respect. protect. enjoy
Fisheries biologists manage Vermont's wild brook trout by monitoring their populations over time and using this information to protect habitat, set fishing regulations and provide fishing opportunities.
We all can take part in keeping Vermont's native brook trout healthy and wild by doing the following:
  • Maintain and restore streambank vegetation
  • Use proper erosion controls when bare ground is exposed during construction or other disturbance
  • Construct road and driveway crossings of streams that do not block upstream movement of creatures living in the stream
  • Dispose of toxic materials in appropriate places; not in or close to streams, rivers, lakes, or ponds
  • Follow fishing regulations
  • Do not release bait or any other fish species in waters that support wild brook trout
  • Take a child fishing, because we protect what we love, we love what we know, and we know what we experience.
