Winooski River’s
Salmon Hole
It was actually my sister that stumbled upon this site for me. She had just gotten a roll of film from last year developed, when we noticed this beautiful part of the river with snow covered banks. We went all throughout google maps searching for where it may be and found the Salmon Hole.
The Salmon Hole is a segment of Winooski River just downstream of Winooski Falls and the Winooski Hydroelectric Dam. It is a common fishing location in the area due to having a variety of sought after fish including Atlantic salmon and various trout and bass species.
The most common woody plants down at Salon Hole were Beech, Silver Maple, Poplar, and Norway Maple. All of the trees directly on the river bank already had their leaves turn yellow. If you walk less than a hundred feet away from the river, fewer trees have yellow leaves as can be seen with Norway maple. There was a larger variety of woody plants further away, too. Species like Boxelder, paper birch, and oak were found near the entrance of Salmon Hole. Another discrepancy between entrance and shore is that most of the leaves by the shore had many holes eaten in them, while the entrance trees did not.
