The “Salmon Hole” area of the Winooski River near downtown Winooski is a famed Vermont fishing spot known for producing a wide range of fish species just minutes from the center of Burlington.

Two separate fishing access areas just below the Route 2 bridge in Milton provide quality opportunities for anglers looking to fish the lower Lamoille River area.

Shelburne Pond is a shallow, 450-acre recreational gem just 10 miles from downtown Burlington that offers great fishing in a small-water, rural setting.

The Sandbar Wildlife Management Area (WMA) offers shallow-water fishing opportunities around the delta of the Lamoille River and is only a short drive from downtown Burlington.

Depending on the time of year and water level, this area can produce a broad range of fish species, though shallow, warm-water dwelling fish are most common.
