West River , Townshend VT. Fishing Report

4 Rating based on 2 Reviews

West River ,Townshend VT.

Great for small mouth and trout. There are miles and miles of river to fish. Anywhere you see whirlpools or cover is good fishing. I fish my way home from work every week and 90% of time I catch fish mostly small mouth bass. There are plenty of brook trout and Rainbow trout to be caught as well.
