Highlights of Lake Champlain Fishing Charter
Lake Champlain offers some of the Northeast's most diverse freshwater fishing with over 80 fish species. The lake's varied structure includes rocky points, deep channels, and weedy bays that hold different species throughout the seasons. Spring brings excellent fishing as fish move shallow after ice-out, while summer provides consistent action in deeper waters. Fall fishing can be exceptional as fish feed heavily before winter. Our charters focus on productive areas near Cumberland Head and the surrounding waters.

Our boat features comfortable seating, fish finder technology, and safety equipment. Captain Scott's local knowledge helps locate active fish and adjust techniques based on current conditions and seasonal patterns.
Local Tips & Conditions
Lake Champlain's fishing conditions vary significantly by season and weather patterns. Spring fishing begins after ice-out, typically in April, when fish move into shallow warming areas. Summer fishing is most consistent with early morning and evening being prime times. Water temperatures and wind direction greatly influence fish location and feeding activity. The lake's size means conditions can vary dramatically from north to south, allowing us to find protected waters and active fish regardless of weather.
Local regulations require New York or Vermont fishing licenses depending on which waters we fish. We recommend checking current regulations and size limits before your trip. The lake supports both warm and cold water species, making it unique among northeastern waters. Our charters adapt to seasonal patterns, targeting different species and areas based on time of year and current conditions.

Our Lake Champlain fishing charters include all necessary fishing equipment, bait, and tackle. We provide rods and reels suitable for various techniques from light spinning to heavier trolling setups. The boat features modern electronics for locating fish and navigating safely. We recommend bringing sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and weather-appropriate clothing. Coolers with ice are available for keeping your catch fresh. Charter times typically start early morning for best fishing conditions, with flexible scheduling based on your preferences and current fishing patterns.
