Game Fish Present: Primarily Brook trout, Rainbow trout, and Brown trout.

Nongame Fish Present: The Tweed River and its tributaries are a major rearing area for Atlantic Salmon. Extreme caution should be taken not to confuse the young Atlantic salmon with young Brown trout.

Description: Several streams flowing off of the east side of the Green Mountain Range form the Tweed River. Most streams are spring fed and the Tweed River and its tributaries have good natural trout reproduction and support wild trout fisheries.

Gear Suggestions: Fly-fishing, spinners and bait fishing are allowed on the Tweed and its tributaries.

Season and Restrictions: For a complete description of fishing regulations and license fees, visit the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department web site.

Access: Vermont Route 100 runs alongside most of the Tweed River. There are several turnouts constructed to provide parking.
