| | Vermont River Conservancy - What's So Special about the Lands along our Rivers? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) |
 | | Big, slow rivers where great blue herons fish and swallows dart acrobatically overhead; Steep creeks that challenge the most experienced white-water boaters; Mountains looming, forests and farmlands stretching in the distance; Water cloaked with morning mist, a beaver swimming, its wake draped behind like a cape. |
 | | The lands along Vermont's rivers and streams provide access, habitat, and beautifully forested, undeveloped shorelines for the angler, all extremely important to the angling experience. |
 | | We go for the mesmerizing, ever-changing sight of undulating flow, the lacy foam, the froth of white, the roar and thud, the quiet beauty of many-colored cobbles in clear pools, the sorcery of gray mists, the solid miracle of potholes, and the green, dripping luxuriance of hanging mosses. |
