Traveling Trout Co. presents Trout Towns - the show where I take you to some of the best towns across America for trout fishing. Each episode we'll travel to a new town to fish two specific trout streams, from freestone to limestone, to tailwater, and everything in between. We'll also highlight some of the great American history as well as architecture illustrated by the towns which we visit. All that and more on Trout Towns.
TROUT TOWNS EP. 12 - Rutland, VT
On this episode of Trout Towns, were in Rutland, Vermont - your gateway for exploring the Green Mountain National Forests high-quality tributary streams as well as the larger more meandering creeks flowing through gentle valleys.
Our first stop on this trip will be to Otter Creek - this large sized freestone trout stream is not only stocked with plump rainbow trout, but also enjoys extensive natural reproduction of native brook trout.
We’ll then explore one of Otter Creeks premiere medium sized freestone tributary streams, with naturally reproducing brook and brown trout - all surrounded by some of the prettiest and most rugged national forest lands in the eastern United States.
While in town, we’ll then explore Rutland’s rich historical past - dating back to the pre-revolutionary war colonial period, this town has seen it all. From being a frontier outpost and agricultural center, to becoming Vermonts railroad hub and a world leader at marble processing, Rutland checks all the boxes for historical significance.
We’ll also highlight some of Rutland’s well maintained historic architecture. With styles ranging from Italianate and Romanesque to Art Deco and International Styles, Rutland contributes significantly to Vermont’s overall historic architectural achievements.
Please join me today as we fish, explore, and embrace our very next Trout Town in Rutland, Vermont.

If you go far up enough the wild Pecos you will encounter wild rainbows.
Where do you find these places, I live down here in NM and I struggle to find creeks like the one in caldera; also great video
Did you start your Loyalsock at Sandy Bottom?
NICE! Looks like you hit Rock Run? I can tell by the rocks and how the water carved them out so smoothly. If I’m wrong, it’s a must. It’s arguable the most beautiful stream in the State. And when the fish are biting it’s the best.
They only say they’re infertile to keep populations steady. The cleaned up Pine Creek about 25-30 years ago. And there’s been a group trying to turn Loyalsock into pristine waters and surroundings. Not like it’s litter ridden or creek is polluted but the group aims to maintain the pristine. One more note Loyalsock and Lycoming flood incredibly bad and quickly. Pine Creek will flood but very rarely. It rises slow but also drops slow while the other two can flood in an hour over the banks causing devastation. I lived for 1.5 years about 5 miles South of where you started. Prior I lived 5 miles from Creek and 25 miles to your spot. Little Bear again has so many natives. They do stock Loyalsock too. Little Bear has a handicap area which they stock.
Man living in Williamsport, you forget just how much wealth was here. We have a road called Millionaires row which will prob get covered. But the logging boom put us on the map. Way way up Lycoming. Creek there is a graveyard on the side of the mountain, 15 min drive from the 1850s-1870s. Many of the deaths were infants. It was and still is so remote but I couldn’t imagine living there 160 years ago. Once again Loyalsock for the win. Glad you went well up stream. It’s def our pride and joy and Brownies and large and plentiful.

Sorry for blowing your page up. But take a Right across the Stream in Trout Run and it’s a 8-10 minute drive to Rose Valley Lake. Also excellent fishing but I prefer hiking thesreams. Brownies are so hard to bring in. Lost a 30 in her after fighting for 10-15 mins. How to judge stock vs non stock? Color is easiest but those small brownies were unlikely stocked by the state.
What time of year did you visit us? I think you said May but wasn’t sure what it was concerning.
Next time you’re fishing in our area. If you want real natives hit the Loyalsock and stop at Bear Run. Prob 7-10 miles north on 87 from 180.
Oh and Lyco is def the hardest to fish just because it’s a lot of holes, not always easily accessible. While Loyalsock terrain is much rougher, it’s still easy to get to many spots. Also , I don’t believe the state stock brownies and only a few Brookies. However many private clubs stock their own. Including Palominos. Little Bear off the Loyalsock is one of the very small streams where the natives hang. I’d rather catch five 6-8” natives than 20 stockies. Man so many places I’d love to take you. Great video.
New sub too
As a life long trout fishing enthusiast. We have 3 amazing streams within 20 miles. I’ve fished them all a lot and my recently deceased Uncle lived on Pine Creek. Probably the most famous with presidents fish there just s an example. I lived about 2 blocks from the LL Complex. It’s impressive. I now live in Duboistown which is part of the Williamsport zip Code and live right by the Susquehanna River. Little Trivia, the Susquehanna is one of the top 3-4 oldest rivers in tHE WORLD. We’, made some mistakes like stripping our mountains of all trees. We also allowed fracking which was surprisingly not that invasive and brought a lot economic benefits for a few years. There’s still here (gas companies) but it’s been slowed as of late. Of the3 Creeks we fish. I prefer the Loyalsock Creek first, then Pine Creek and finally the Lycoming. First Eagle I ever saw was in 1999-2000 while fishing in Camaal PA which is up Pine Creek. It flew 30 yds above my head in the dead center of the creek. That got me hooked and I bought a camera and started to become a birder. I’ve now seen hundreds of different Eagles, with teens of thousands of views. Even though Lyco in #3. It’s probably still a top 0 in the USA. Lycoming Country with Williamsport and surrounding communities we have incredible outdoor opportunities. Looking to camp? Def find camping on the a Loyalsock. While each creek is gorgeous and the terrains are decent but Loyalsock is amazing. Also you won’t see the stockies as much in Loyalsock. You’ll catch a ton of natives and huge brownies.
At the beginning when you said williamsport was known for its food i kinda had to scratch my head for a little bit 😂, i usually have to do the 1 hour drive to state college for great food. All in all fantastic video, i love my little town so much , coming from san francisco this place is a secret gem. Safe, happy, and quirky. I hope the word doesnt get out otherwise everyone would flock here
Lived for a summer in Ohiopyle.... back in the good old days... 1990... caught and ate trout from the Yough. Good times.
Rutland is gross
Yo I live near Santa Fe, where did you park and how many miles did you walk up pecos? I’ve only ever caught rainbows up there 😢
Do you ever shut your annoying mouth?
Post card , az , trail, rs,
Dude do you EVER stop talking? Enjoyable water, you just Over Do the Verbage. You re GOOD, But more Quiet would be Sweet. Enjoy the Peace.
How much of that stream is public access? Great video dude, keep up the great work 👍🏽.
Just fished this spot today. The only cold water I can find besides the Letort. Caught a couple wild browns on a size 14 stimulator
Big Hunting has been mis managed.. the dam releases have been reduced to a trickle at times killing most of the fish below the dam..The lake above the dam is more managed for boating and swimming and when summer droughts come.. the dam management shuts the flows down to a ridiculous flow..Its a shame since Big Hunting used to be a really nice trout stream..
Where did you park when the falls park was closed? I went today...and it's closed again
How is Santa Fe a trout town?
I live about 80 yards from Lycoming Creek in Cogan Station....those rainbow really have a lot of color in them....unlike the mostly silver ones at the dam at Pine Creek. Try Antes Creek from the mouth of the Susquhanna up to the culvert some time.....lots of big brookies in there.....the fishing hunting club owns the land further up stream so you can't go up further. Under the bridge on 220 at McElhatten Creek has brookies there as i owned the stream up down from there and used to see them all the time but they don't get that big. Rock Run up north around Ralston has a lot of trout. They will stock again in October and you can go online and it will tell you when and where and what they are putting in. Good luck as you can fish better than 90 per cent of the anglers around here!
Also they do have Brown trout in the river and years ago they were putting in fingerlings up around McElhatten in the river....don't know if they still do it.
They will stock Oct 10 and the do put brown and rainbow in.
Otter creek is also north flowing you failed to mention
It flows into lake Champlain.. Duh
I live in York County and try and fish the creek in the fall and spring. Its been so hot this year.
What fishing gear do you use?
Love the content. But the “Get the hook out take a look at him” will keep me away from your channel.
Best hidden jem I ever fished. In a volcano .most fish I ever caught in one day. Would be called a fiber if I said h0w many
You've got to mend your line better than that, and then took many false casts. Great history lesson and fun spot to fish.
You should check out trout creek in slatington pa, springside sportsman’s club stocks some big rainbows
Fished lick run many times. Its a long hike but the upper section is great fishing. You will spend most of the time wading the creek because of all the laurel. Landed more than a few 20" browns on minnows
Hope you stopped by the donation box. Takes a lot to keep this place beautiful
How does it cost money to keep it up?
Fyi, i can see where you were fishing. I know the area well. It was likely an otter that you saw. Im 40 years of fishing that part of otter creek, ive not seen a mink.
I have the same net and from the top of the basket to the bottom is 19 inches inside the net. Help me to identify how long the big ones are.
Say single barbless hook one more time LOL
I'm gonna make this my new BDSM 'safeword.' 😂
Great video! Have you considered doing Manchester, VT? It's got several excellent rivers (like the Batten Kill and Walloomsac), as well as numerous small wild brookie streams.
And Orvis HQ, I forgot about that
I'm totally new to fly fishing. 11:57 I'm not seeing that barbless hooks are required in GSMNP???? Can you confirm? TY
I'm a Local that fly fishes The Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Barbless hooks are not a requirement
Central and Southern Vermont have more incredible trout streams than you can count. Recent flooding has carved up a number of them, but they always seem to bounce back!
Just turn the net over to release them.
Enjoyed your video and the tour of the city of Rutland, thanks.
well done video!
Why are you so scared of the fish😂😂😂
Great video heading to that area soon. What’s the name of the second stream?
Please good lord do not give out the names. Some of us live on the rivers he was showing.
Upstate NY is beautiful, the people as well.
Great channel. You should try colrain mass a try there's 3 great trout stream that run through it. Green , north and Deerfield rivers all amazing trout waters.
I love your channel. You give history of the area. Awesome
Just found the page today. Love the videos. Tomorrow will be my first time fly fishing in Harrisburg area and thinking about going to the yellow breaches. Also, your voice reminds me of Casey rocket (comedian), check him out lol
Just a quick tip if you do more episodes in VT, try to fish streamers casting downstream and stripping in, I’ve found that’s the best way to get wild trout out of those smaller tributaries, especially the bigger trout.
No way, I’ve noticed this too! For whatever reason I try what all the guys online say and cast up and strip, but only catch them when going above the pool and letting the fly float down, then stripping.
clank!
