About Willoughby River
Flowing through Vermont, United States, Willoughby River is a river that suits anglers willing to walk a bank. Most fish at Willoughby River hold in identifiable lies — the same eddies, drop-offs, and shaded undercuts produce trip after trip. After heavy rain, Willoughby River can colour up and rise quickly; that's often when bigger predators come out to feed, but wading conditions get dangerous.

Fishing Techniques
- For Rainbow trout
Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.
- For Pumpkinseed
Use light tackle, such as an ultralight rod and reel with 4-6 pound test line, for maximum sensitivity and fun while fishing for pumpkinseeds.
- For Yellow perch
When perch are finicky, downsize your bait or lure and use lighter line to increase your chances of getting a bite. Focus on areas near weed beds or drop-offs as they often hold schools of perch.
