About this water
The Winooski River through Bolton Gorge is one of Vermont's most scenic and productive trout fisheries, with wild brown trout and stocked rainbows holding in deep pools and swift runs. The gorge section requires a short hike to access but rewards anglers with less pressure and larger fish. Streamers and nymphs are highly effective in the deeper pools.
