Fly fishing

Noyes Pond is perhaps the biggest draw here at Seyon Lodge, offering Vermont's sole public fly fishing-only pond. The pond offers a remote setting that anglers appreciate as much for its quiet sense of solitude as for the breeding ground it creates for native square tail brook trout. Rental row boats are available and are the only boats allowed on the pond. We have a Frequent Flyer Anglers Pass that provides unlimited fishing and boat rentals for only $125 per season.

Row boat rentals: $7.50 per hour, $25 for half day (4 to 6 hours), $40 per day (dawn to dusk), plus Vermont Sales Tax.
