Reel in the Adventure
Fly Fishing
Fly-fishing in the Deerfield Valley is an epic adventure! From late April through the end of November, anglers of all ages and skill levels can enjoy plentiful fishing opportunities. The Wilmington Inn is proud to be the premier fly-fishing lodge in Southern Vermont, offering unmatched access to some of the best fishing spots and a welcoming retreat after a day on the water. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a novice eager to learn, our inn is the perfect base for your fly-fishing adventures.
Premier Fishing in
Southern Vermont
Fly-fishing spots are within walking distance of the inn on The Upper Deerfield River. The river system is called “The Upper Deerfield,” and is supplied a constant flow of water from three local bottom release dams. The three dams, Harriman, Somerset & Searsburg are operated by Great River Hydro. This man-made hydro-electric water system operates from its 400-square-mile Vermont drainage basin in four river branches: the main Deerfield, and the East, North, and West branches. The improved water management on these upper sections since 1998 has provided Deerfield with constant flows and has some of the best fly fishing for wild trout in the state.
