Pertinent Information
The average flow in Lamoille Creek is 3 to 5 cubic feet per second (cfs), but it may peak at 100 to 500 cfs during spring runoff in May and June. Wild brook trout occur throughout the entire 10 miles of stream down to the Forest Service property boundary and a few wild rainbow trout can be found below the Forest Service campground. The best time to fish is after spring runoff from July to October and for the most productive fishing, use bait (worms) or flies. Rainbow trout generally range from 10 to 11 inches. The Forest Service has a campground at Thomas Creek, but there are a few primitive camping areas near Right Fork. Picnic areas are also available.
