A remarkable rebirth of “the art of fishing” has occurred in Stowe over the past ten years, allowing for a world of new opportunities for guided excursions, clinics and enhanced natural resources for anglers of all abilities. 

Interest in fly-fishing in particular is soaring. Private reclamation projects along the banks of the famous Lamoille and Winooski Rivers, extensive stocking programs and the explosive growth of “catch and release” have helped the sport to flourish. Hone your skills and enjoy extensive local knowledge of when and where to fish with a guided excursion. You may find yourself casting from a float tube on pristine Sterling Pond (4,000’ above sea level), from the banks of one of our legendary rivers or from the peaceful, trickling West Branch river that winds through Stowe.
