Otter Creek

Flowing north from the town of Dorset, and eventually emptying in to Lake Champlain, Otter Creek offers a little something for everyone. The upper stretches contain some wild brookies and browns, while downstream, stocked rainbows, browns and brooks can be found where conditions permit.
This page is merely a start. We'll post more information on Otter Creek as we collect and compose it. If you'd like to contribute something - whether photos, a river report, or a brief stream description, send it our way (see contact info for email addresses) and we'll post it here.

Don't forget, several of the streams in our Southwestern corner of Vermont, such as the Walloomsac, Hoosic, Battenkill, Mettawee, and Poultney aren't bound by state lines and there is often good fishing to be found on the "other" side of the border, which explains why there are some non-VT-specific resources and references listed above. More importantly, keep it legit and get yourself properly licensed in whichever state your angling explorations take you before you wet a line.
