How do you pronounce Lamoille?

Lamoille can be a tricky one, but here's a hint: if it feels like there's something in your mouth when you're saying it, you're doing it right. The pronunciation of "La-moil" (last syllable rhymes with "soil") is generally accepted around these parts.

How deep is the Lamoille River?

The fishing is good, especially for small and largemouth bass and panfish like pumpkinseed, perch, and rock bass. The water is usually about 6- to 10-feet deep, although there are some large, deep holes which run closer to 30 feet.
