About the fishing here
Lake Willoughby is a deep glacial lake in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, squeezed dramatically between two mountains that give it a fjord-like look unusual for New England. The cold, deep water holds lake trout and landlocked salmon, both worked by trolling or deep jigging depending on the season. The lake drops off steeply near shore, so it fishes more like a mountain lake than a typical shallow Vermont pond.
Anglers here regularly land White Bass, Bluegill, Muskellunge, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass and Northern Pike.
White Bass is generally most active around Apr-May. The best windows are usually dawn, day and dusk.
A state fishing license is required to fish here. Napp ranks the species above from the live weather, water temperature, season and time of day, so the order changes through the day.
