Highlights of Lake Champlain Fishing
Lake Champlain spans 120 miles between New York and Vermont, offering diverse fishing environments from shallow bays to deep-water structure. The lake's healthy ecosystem supports multiple species including largemouth and smallmouth bass, northern pike, walleye, and lake trout. Spring and fall provide exceptional fishing as fish move through seasonal patterns, while summer offers consistent action in deeper waters. Captain Scott knows the seasonal movements and preferred structures that hold fish throughout the year.
Our charters focus on proven techniques including jigging for walleye, casting for bass around rocky points, and trolling for lake trout in deeper sections. The lake's clear waters and varied bottom structure create ideal conditions for multiple fishing methods, allowing us to adapt our approach based on weather and fish activity.
Local Tips & Conditions
Lake Champlain's fishing conditions vary with seasonal weather patterns and water temperatures. Spring fishing begins as ice melts, typically in March and April, when fish move into shallow warming areas. Summer brings stable conditions with early morning and evening providing the most active fishing periods. Fall offers some of the year's best fishing as fish feed heavily before winter, with cooler water temperatures extending productive fishing hours throughout the day.
Wind direction significantly affects fishing success on this large lake, with protected bays and points offering alternatives when main lake conditions become challenging. Captain Scott monitors weather forecasts and adjusts trip plans to ensure safe and productive fishing experiences regardless of conditions.
