Fly Fishing Dog River Vermont
The Dog River is considered one of the best brown trout streams in the state of Vermont. It’s a beautiful river that flows through wooded hills and scenic farmland areas and dairy farms. The Dog River is a tributary of the Winooski River. Fly fishing the Dog River can be a true pleasure as well as rewarding. Some brown trout exceeds twenty inches.
The stream starts north of Roxbury and flows through Northfield. Vermont highway #12 leading out of Montpelier follows along or nearby the stream. Public access points are located off of the highway. At Northfield Center, highway #12 A follows the stream.
More access points can be found off of this highway.
This is mostly a brown trout stream but it does have some rainbows. It also has some brook trout in its uppermost section. It’s an easy stream to wade with plenty of aquatic insect hatches.
