WATERBURY, VT – Vermont Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Wayne Laroche has taken action designed to conserve the wild trout population in the Dog River.
State Fisheries Biologist, Rich Kirn, says the Dog River has long been considered one of Vermont’s best wild trout streams with a reputation for abundant wild rainbow trout and large brown trout. Biological surveys conducted in the 1990s measured high trout densities, excellent natural reproduction, good growth rates and good angler catch rates. Rainbow trout have not been stocked in the Dog River since 1961, and all stocking in the Dog River and its tributaries was discontinued in 1992.
