Vermont’s Online Fishing Regulations Tool

Our Online Fishing Regulations Tool uses technology to make accessing regulation information quick and simple, whether you’re at home planning your next Vermont fishing trip or out on the water!

Features of the Fishing Regulations Tool

Interactive Map System:
Allows users to select any waterbody in the state and have instantaneous access to fishing regulations specific to that body of water.

Current Location Feature:
The map works in coordination with the Global Positioning System (GPS) in many mobile devices, allowing users to view fisheries regulations for their current location.

Lookup Tables:
Allows users to view regulations by selecting a waterbody, town, or county from a comprehensive lookup list.

Regardless of the pathway, the final result is a simple and clear list of fisheries regulations for all of Vermont’s great fishing spots!
