Highlights of Lake Champlain Fishing
Lake Champlain spans 120 miles between New York and Vermont, offering diverse fishing environments from deep coldwater zones to shallow weedy bays. The lake's structure includes drop-offs, rocky points, and extensive weed beds that hold different species throughout the seasons. Spring brings excellent pike fishing in the shallows, while summer and fall provide consistent lake trout action in deeper waters. The lake's clear water and varied bottom structure create ideal conditions for both trolling and casting techniques.

Lake Champlain supports a healthy population of lake trout, northern pike, walleye, and smallmouth bass. Lake trout thrive in the lake's deep, cold waters and can be found year-round near structure and drop-offs. Northern pike inhabit the weedy bays and shallow areas, particularly active during spring and fall transitions. Walleye fishing peaks during spring spawning runs and again in fall when they school up in deeper areas.
