Last summer Angling & Donuts was the first public event on the newly restored floodplains in Brattleboro at 250 Birge Street and at Melrose Terrace.

On two Sundays in late spring, join your Connecticut River Conservancy River Steward, Kathy Urffer, and Water Way(s) director, Erin Maile O’Keefe, along with our friends at Trout Unlimited for some fishing. Charles Soucy of Hooked! Guide Service will teach you to fish or help you brush up on your technique. We will provide fishing poles (or bring your own) and delicious donuts made by small local bakeries. Come discover the abundance of trout in the Brook, try your hand at reel fishing and learn about the impacts of climate change on our fish populations. Bring your favorite humans and morning beverage for this sweet gathering at our newest recreational access areas along the Whetstone Brook! Oh, and you may want to bring a comfy camp chair, too.

This event is FREE, but we ask that you register so we order enough donuts and bring enough fishing poles.

REGISTRATION + 2025 DATES:
June 1st at 250 Birge Street, Brattleboro
