Vermont's Free Fishing Day gives resident and nonresident anglers the opportunity to go fishing in Vermont for the day without a license.

The Grand Isle Family Fishing Festival!

Designed for young anglers and families, this exciting event offers basic fishing instruction and the chance for kids and novice anglers to catch big trout in the hatchery pond. No prior fishing experience is needed and Vermont Fish & Wildlife will be supplying fishing rods, reels and bait for use by participants.
