Steelhead Rainbow Trout Runs Are Happening Now


One of Vermont’s premier wildlife watching opportunities is happening right now.  The steelhead rainbow trout have started their upstream migration, leaping up waterfalls in a spectacular display of determination on their way to their spawning grounds.

The best place to spot steelhead is at Willoughby Falls just outside Orleans in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom.  Other places to see migrating steelhead include Coventry Falls on the Black River in Coventry and Lewis Creek Falls in North Ferrisburgh, though Willoughby Falls remains the best viewing opportunity.
