17 NOV 2024 · As of November 17, 2024, the fishing scene on Lake Champlain is looking exceptionally promising, especially with the cooler weather setting in. Here’s a rundown of what you can expect today.
### Weather and Tidal Conditions
The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 48°F and a low of 38°F. There is a light breeze out of the northwest at about 5 mph. Since Lake Champlain is a freshwater lake, tidal reports are not applicable, but water levels are currently stable.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise today is at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 4:14 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing trips.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw a lot of activity from cold-water species. Trout, particularly lake trout and rainbow trout, were very active. Salmon, both landlocked and coho, were also biting well. Walleye and bass were also caught in decent numbers.
### Catch Reports
Anglers reported catching several lake trout in the 3-5 pound range, with some larger ones up to 7 pounds. Salmon catches ranged from 2-4 pounds. Walleye were mostly in the 1-3 pound range, and bass were generally smaller, around 1-2 pounds.
### Best Lures and Bait
For trout and salmon, using spoons like the Len Thompson or Blue Fox Vibrax, and flashers with dodgers have been very effective. Live bait such as smelt and shiners are also working well. For walleye, jigging with minnows or using crankbaits that mimic baitfish have been successful. Bass anglers have had luck with soft plastics and small jigs.
### Hot Spots
One of the hot spots right now is the area around the Palisades and Slack Line, where the structure and drop-offs are attracting a lot of fish. Another good spot is the northern part of the lake near the Champlain Bridge, where the deeper waters are holding trout and salmon.
Overall, it's a great time to be out on Lake Champlain, with plenty of fish to target and favorable weather conditions. Make sure to dress warmly and enjoy the beautiful fall scenery while you're out there.

16 NOV 2024 · As of November 16, 2024, the fishing scene on Lake Champlain is looking exceptionally promising, especially for those targeting cold-water species. Here’s what you can expect today:
The weather is crisp and cool, feeling very much like fall, with partly cloudy skies and a high of around 48°F and a low of 38°F. Winds are moderate, coming in from the northwest at about 10-15 mph. Sunrise was at 6:45 AM, and sunset will be at about 4:15 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and late afternoon fishing.
Since Lake Champlain is a freshwater lake, tidal conditions are not a factor, but water levels are currently a bit high due to recent rainfall. However, this has not deterred the fish from biting.
Yesterday saw steady action, particularly for Lake Trout and Atlantic Salmon. Lake Trout were caught in depths of about 50-60 feet over 200 feet of water, with dark color spoons such as blue, purple, and green stingers performing well. Atlantic Salmon were also active, especially during low light conditions, and were caught using small spoons from 25 to 40 feet down. Anglers reported catching several Lake Trout in the 3-5 pound range, along with a few Atlantic Salmon.
For bait, using lures that mimic baitfish, such as Honeybees and other stinger-type spoons, has been effective. Copper and orange, or rainbow trout and green spoons, have also been successful. Live bait like smelt or shiners can also be very productive for all these species.
Smallmouth bass fishing was also good, with many fish caught in the shallower areas using soft plastics and crankbaits.
Hot spots include the area around the Palisades and Slack Line, known for its rocky structures that attract both bass and trout. Another good spot is the northern part of the lake near the Champlain Bridge, where the deeper waters are home to Lake Trout and Atlantic Salmon. The western Vermont lakes, ponds, and bays of Lake Champlain, particularly around the Inland Sea, have also been particularly productive.
Overall, it's an excellent time to get out on Lake Champlain, with the cooler weather and stable water conditions making it ideal for targeting these cold-water species. Just be sure to dress warmly and be prepared for changing weather conditions.
15 NOV 2024 · As of November 15, 2024, here’s a local’s perspective on the fishing scene at Lake Champlain:
The weather today is crisp and cool, feeling very much like fall, which is ideal for fishing. Sunrise was at around 6:45 AM, and sunset will be at about 4:15 PM, giving us a good window for both morning and late afternoon fishing.
Tidal conditions are not a significant factor on Lake Champlain, but water levels and clarity can affect fishing. Currently, the water levels are a bit high due to recent rainfall, but this has not deterred the fish from biting.
Yesterday saw steady action, particularly for Lake Trout and Atlantic Salmon. The early morning hours were the most productive, with fish hitting deep water humps and reefs. Lake Trout were caught in depths of about 50-60 feet over 200 feet of water, with dark color spoons such as blue, purple, and green stingers performing well. Atlantic Salmon were also active, especially during low light conditions, and were caught using small spoons from 25 to 40 feet down.
For bait, the thermocline being down around 50-60 feet suggests that using lures that mimic baitfish, such as Honeybees and other stinger-type spoons, would be effective. Additionally, fishing with copper and orange, or rainbow trout and green spoons, has been successful.
Hot spots include the western Vermont lakes, ponds, and bays of Lake Champlain. The areas around the Inland Sea and the Champlain Bridge have been particularly productive. For those looking to target Lake Trout, focusing on the deeper water humps and reefs is a good strategy.
Overall, the fishing on Lake Champlain is hot right now, and with the cooler weather setting in, it’s an excellent time to get out on the water and catch some of these beautiful fish. Just remember to dress warmly and be prepared for changing weather conditions.
10 NOV 2024 · As of November 10, 2024, the fishing scene on Lake Champlain is quite promising, especially with the fall spawning run in full swing.
### Weather and Tidal Conditions
Today, the weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 48°F and a low of 38°F. The winds are light, coming in from the northwest at about 5 mph. Tidal influences are minimal since Lake Champlain is a freshwater lake, but water levels can fluctuate due to rainfall and human management. Currently, the water levels are slightly above average due to recent rainfall.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise today is at 6:43 AM, and sunset is at 4:27 PM, providing ample daylight for both morning and evening fishing trips.
### Fish Activity
The fall season brings an increase in fish activity, particularly for salmonids. Atlantic salmon, landlocked salmon, and trout are active during this period. Yesterday's reports indicated a steady catch of Atlantic salmon and lake trout. Anglers targeting the tributaries, such as the Saranac and Boquet rivers, reported catching Atlantic salmon in the 3 to 5-pound range.
### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
Yesterday, anglers caught a mix of Atlantic salmon, landlocked salmon, and lake trout. The catch rates were moderate, with several anglers reporting multiple catches per trip. The size structure of the catch included salmonids ranging from 2 to 7 pounds.
### Best Lures and Bait
For targeting Atlantic salmon and lake trout, dark-colored spoons such as those in blue, purple, and green are highly effective. Honeybee and stinger lures also performed well. When fishing in the tributaries, using small spoons from 25 to 40 feet down can be very productive. For bait, live bait like smelt or alewives can attract larger fish.
### Hot Spots
One of the best spots to fish right now is below Willsboro in the spring areas, but during the fall, the focus shifts to the upper reaches of the tributaries. The Saranac and Boquet rivers are particularly hot, with anglers reporting good catches near the first impassable barriers upstream. Another good spot is the deep water humps and reefs in the main lake, where lake trout are often found.
Overall, the conditions are favorable for a productive day of fishing on Lake Champlain. Make sure to check the local regulations and respect the fishery to ensure sustainable fishing practices.
