Connecticut River (Vermont), VT
River in Orange County, Vermont. The Connecticut River forms the entire Vermont-New Hampshire border and is a productive warmwater river fishery managed jointly by both states. The impoundments behind Wilder, Bellows Falls, and Vernon dams hold smallmouth and largemouth bass, walleye, northern pike, chain pickerel, yellow perch, black crappie, and channel catfish in the lower reaches. Trout are stocked in the cooler upper sections. The river fishes well spring through fall from boat or shore.
