I haven't caught any browns in there, but it's worth a shot, especially in the fall.
Definitely! By the way love your channel !
Did I miss a link? Post it up, my boys and I love to watch local youtube hunting/fishing channels.

X2 nice videos! Your pal Erik works upstairs from where I live... I think I met you briefly down by the canoe access. You were taking pictures of that beautiful laker you got on the river. Hope to see you guys out on the ice some day!
I call bass bank fish you take them off the hook and throw them up on the bank. They are everywhere.
I think walleye and trout could work, but maybe your right. I do know one thing and that is Vermont has way to manny bass. I honestly would rather catch trout all day then bass. It's horrible all of vermonts old little brook trout ponds now, have bass! Bass aren't even native to Vermont! Cool fact large mouths aren't native to any part of the state, and small mouth are only native to lake Champlain! So why the hell didn't the state do anything when people started stocking them ever were!
It's unfortunate that the state is so authoritarian in its FW stocking programs. They should allow to regulated publicly funded stocking programs to bring species back in lakes that once had them, or would be well suited to have them. There are tons of none natural ponds and lakes in Vermont that don't have true native fish, and could be helped with sport fish being stocked. just in central VT where we have no walleye waters, I think that Marshfield, Waterbury, berlin, and elmore would be helped by walleye populations both for bringing in anglers, and in the case of marshfield and elmore, in controlling perch overpopulation. Other states allow citizens to fund stocking projects as long as they receive a permit and purchase from an acceptable source.
Berlin Pond was stocked with walleye back in the the early 1900's......as well as brook trout and Smelt. Not all at the same time, but all around 1909 and a few years after that. I don't know the history of what happened to the walleye or smelt, but apparently they never took hold.
I understand that Fish & Wildlife has used electro fishing or chemicals to remove invasive species and stock new native fish. Is that true? If so why don't they do it to more.
Wow, I hope your joking?
Yeah I hear the trout argument, but we have plenty of trout lakes compared to walleye lakes, and trout cost way more money to continue to unsustainable stock them in places they don't survive the winter. Within 25 miles of my house in East Montpelier I can fish trout at at least 10 lakes, and there is not a single walleye lake in that same area.
