858.0. "waterbury dam vermont" by BTO::LEVESQUE_R () Mon Aug 22 1988 18:56

    I was wondering if anyone can shed light on the status of fishing
    at waterbury dam in vermont. I was curious how the fish are doing
    after the work that was done to the dam. What can be caught?
    ex. walleye, trout,bass. Any recomendations?
    thanks for the info.

858.1I heard something.BTO::SCHOFIELD_KThu Sep 01 1988 13:518
    I'd read a few weeks back in some Vermont tabloid (I think it was
    Northern Vermont Trout Tours) that the fishing has once again picked
    up.  They were talking about some nice rainbows being caught this
    summer and suggested trying it despite the heat problems earlier
    on in the summer.  I'm planning to give it a shot before the season
    ends.

    I'm considering camping for a week this July someplace around
    Burlington.  One of the places I'm considering is Little River State
    Park at the Waterbury Resevoir.  Is anyone out there familiar with the
    Park or the fishing in the Resevoir?

    Yup...
    
858.4let me add to that....BTOVT::RIVERS_DWed Feb 06 1991 09:119
    Let see....the park isn't too bad, I'll see if I can dig up some
    specifics for you.
    
    I know there are Browns, Rainbows, and bullhead....because I've caught
    all three there.
    
    Do you have any specific questions?

858.5how bout smallies?RANGER::MACINTYRETerminal AnglerWed Feb 06 1991 09:189
    Any bass, walleye or pike?  
    
    During July I'd assume the trout would be deep, and since I don't have
    downriggers I'd probably have to leave them alone.
    
    Bullheads aren't exactly prime targets, but if the park had sites on the 
    water it may be fun to keep some lines in the water at night.

858.6not to my knowledgeBTOVT::RIVERS_DWed Feb 06 1991 12:4410
    I don't know of any numbers of warm water species in the reservoir.
    
    Re: trout in deep water in july
    
    not necessarily.  Depends on WHEN in July, and ofcourse the weather.
    Deepest part is 100' with an average of around 40'....
    
    good luck
