The White River is one of Vermont's premier fishing destinations, flowing through central Vermont and serving as a major tributary to the Connecticut River. With its origins in the Green Mountains near Granville, it extends approximately 57 miles through picturesque valleys and countryside before joining the Connecticut River at White River Junction. As Vermont's only major river free of dams, the White River offers a diverse and natural habitat for numerous fish species. This freestone stream features classic pocket water, riffles, runs, and deep pools, providing anglers with varying fishing experiences throughout its course.
