Highlights of Lake Champlain Fishing

The lake's varied structure includes rocky points, submerged reefs, and expansive flats that hold different species throughout the seasons. Cumberland Head provides excellent access to both the main lake and protected bays, making it an ideal launching point for fishing adventures.

Local Tips & Conditions
Lake Champlain's fishing conditions vary significantly with the seasons and weather patterns. Spring brings excellent opportunities as fish move into shallow warming areas, while summer fishing focuses on deeper structures and early morning surface action. Fall produces some of the year's best fishing as baitfish concentrate and gamefish feed heavily before winter.
Water temperatures, wind direction, and barometric pressure all influence fish behavior on Lake Champlain. Captain Thurber monitors these conditions closely and adjusts fishing strategies accordingly. The lake's size means we can always find protected water, ensuring comfortable fishing regardless of weather conditions.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
Our fishing charters accommodate up to six anglers and include all necessary fishing equipment, safety gear, and local expertise. We provide rods, reels, tackle, and bait suited to current conditions and target species. Trips typically begin early morning for the best fishing action, though afternoon charters are available.
Bring sunscreen, snacks, and beverages for your comfort during the trip. We recommend layered clothing as lake conditions can change throughout the day. All safety equipment is provided and maintained to Coast Guard standards for your peace of mind on the water.
