About The Event
Unique to our area of the Northeast Kingdom are the dual runs of Steelhead and Salmon that leave Lake Memphremagog each spring and return to their seasonal spawning grounds in the Willoughby River. Once a year, visitors gather on the stream banks in Orleans for a chance to marvel at an extraordinary fish that can jump UP the rushing falls. This annual phenomenon in Willoughby River is a wonder of the natural world and a treasure for the state of Vermont.
𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝘂𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗨𝗡!
As willing participants in the stewardship of these waters, Northeast Kingdom Trout Unlimited (NEKTU) will be at Willoughby Falls welcoming the public with information about the unique strain of rainbow trout and the story behind their journey. Bring the family for some fun kids activities, discussion on local fishing heritage and an opportunity to catch a glimpse of the famous jumping fish!
