Warm water discharge Vermont?

Featured Replies

Does anyone know of any warm water discharge areas in Vermont or the surrounding states? Looking to get out on some productive open water.. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. 

Just did some research because I was curious myself to do some open water fishing. It looks like they aren’t discharging anymore. I couldn’t find anything too recent but this article might help. https://www.reformer.com/stories/vermont-yankee-shutdown-drastically-changed-river-impact,503639

I read that.. I was fairly certain it had been shut down.. Oh well.. Wishful thinking I guess! Thanks for the reply

There is a warm water dishcharge in the merrimack river at the bow power plant I believe......not sure if it’s still running either.

Thanks I will do some research!

I know the feeling guys!

 

The best I found was a spot where a culvert runs under the road into another part of a pond I fish. The moving water keeps it open for a while unless it's frigid. Cold water but you can cast anyway....

Sewage treatment plants in Vermont.   Below the one on the Winooski in Burlington can be nuts for smallies and walleye.
