Reply to comment by cheetofoot in Do you hunt/ fish/ trap in VT? What is your favorite type of game and why? Any cool stories? Tell me everything!! by -PineMarten

Im curious if there is any good spots around Montpelier. You dont have to give away any secrets, but a general idea would be helpful. Im a broke outsider from Colorado trying to scratch my itch

For which sport? Fwiw, get the fishing reports from the local fly shops, especially fly rod shop. Also the stream and brook guides fly fishing report is also good.

For the deer and turkey, check out the WMAs from the state. Also talk about it with everyone you meet, you never know who might have the private land hookup.

Sending broke young sportsman sympathies, been there!

Thank you!! Looking for fly fishing. I thought it would be more popular than it is in Vermont. But I hit the fly shop in Stowe and they were pretty helpful. Local knowledge is always the best.

Have you checked out Groton State Forest, about a 20 minute drive from Montpelier? It’s the largest state forest in Vermont with lots of variable habitat for all kinds of hunting.
