First Day at Salmon hole

Introduction

Salmon Hole is part of the Winooski River right downstream of the dam and bridge that connect the city of Winooski and Burlington. It is just north of Trinity Campus (nice and close to me!) and a small shortcut through the woods gets you there. It’s a classic fishing spot because there are both warm and cold water fish at different points in the year. There is a river walk trail that brings you to the large rocks along the river.

Vegetation

As I walked down to the river bank the vegetation changed from larger trees to more woody shrubs. In the buffer of forest around the river there were ash tree, Eastern Cottonwood, Grey Alder, Norway Maple, and scattered patches of wild strawberries. Closer to the river I observed lots of Riverbank Grape vines, Staghorn sumac, and American Bittersweet.
