Night fishing: Vermont allows night fishing on most waters, though some trout ponds and streams have seasonal or hours restrictions — check the current VT F&W fishing guide for this water.
Boats: Lake Champlain and the larger lakes take full-size boats; most VT F&W fishing access areas have a hand-carry, canoe or small-trailer ramp. A greeter/boat-wash AIS check applies at many Lake Champlain and Northeast Kingdom lake accesses.
Bank & bivvy camping: Camp at Vermont state parks (many on the best lakes — Lake Bomoseen, Lake St. Catherine, Lake Champlain's islands) and Green Mountain National Forest campgrounds along the trout streams.
