Lake Bomoseen, VT

Lake in Rutland County, Vermont. At roughly 2,400 acres, Bomoseen is the largest lake entirely within Vermont and a top warmwater fishery in the west-central part of the state near Castleton. It produces largemouth and smallmouth bass, northern pike, walleye, black crappie, yellow perch, rock bass, bluegill, pumpkinseed, and brown bullhead, with brown trout and rainbow smelt in the deeper, cooler water. Weed lines and drop-offs concentrate bass, pike, and panfish; the lake also supports a popular winter ice fishery.
