  • Late Fall Fishing Thrives on Champlain: Anglers Reel in Pike, Bass, and Trophy Trout
    Nov 22 2024
    As of November 22, 2024, the fishing scene on Lake Champlain is quite active, despite the late fall season.

    **Weather and Tidal Report:**
    The weather is crisp with temperatures in the mid-40s to low 50s, typical for this time of year. Lake Champlain, being a freshwater lake, does not have tides, but water levels are slightly up, which is beneficial for fishing.

    **Sunrise and Sunset:**
    Sunrise is around 6:45 AM, and sunset is approximately 4:15 PM, giving anglers a good window to be out on the water.

    **Fish Activity:**
    Yesterday saw a lot of activity, particularly with pike, bass, and trout. The ideal water temperatures have kept the fish active, and the slightly higher water levels have made it easier to access various structures.

    **Types and Amounts of Fish Caught:**
    Anglers reported catching many pike and bass using tip-ups. There were also some trophy trout caught, along with good numbers of yellow perch, bluegills, and crappie. Light tackle jigging has been particularly effective for the panfish.

    **Best Lures and Bait:**
    For pike and bass, tip-ups with bait like smelt or shiners are working well. For trout, inline silver and blue spinners, 4.3 Keitech swimbaits, and blade baits have been successful. For panfish, small jigs with live bait such as worms or minnows are recommended.

    **Hot Spots:**
    One of the hot spots right now is the outer weed edges in 10-15 feet of water, where pike and largemouth bass are abundant. Another area is around the Champlain and Otter Creek Valley, where the structure and cover are attracting a variety of fish species.

    Overall, it's a great time to be out on Lake Champlain, with plenty of fish to target and favorable conditions. Just remember to dress warmly and enjoy the beautiful fall scenery.

  • "Fishing the Fall Chill on Lake Champlain: Trout, Salmon, and More in Late November"
    Nov 21 2024
    Today, November 21, 2024, the fishing scene on Lake Champlain is looking promising, despite the late fall season. Here’s a rundown of what you can expect:

    **Weather and Tidal Report:**
    The weather is crisp with a high of around 45°F and a low of 30°F, typical for this time of year. Lake Champlain, being a freshwater lake, does not have tides, so you don't need to worry about tidal changes affecting your fishing.

    **Sunrise and Sunset:**
    Sunrise is at 6:54 AM, and sunset is at 4:14 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing.

    **Fish Activity:**
    Yesterday saw a decent amount of activity, particularly for lake trout and landlocked salmon. The lake trout were hitting on inline silver and blue spinners, as well as 4.3 Keitech swimbaits and blade baits[4].

    **Types and Amounts of Fish Caught:**
    Several anglers reported catching lake trout in the 3-5 pound range, and a few landlocked salmon were caught, mostly in the spring and fall runs. The trout fishing has been exceptional, with some anglers also catching walleye and bass, although these species are less active this time of year[1][4].

    **Best Lures and Bait:**
    For lake trout, use inline silver and blue spinners, 4.3 Keitech swimbaits, and blade baits. For landlocked salmon, try using spoons and streamers, especially in the spring and fall runs below Willsboro and farther upriver. Live bait such as smelt can also be effective for both trout and salmon[1][4].

    **Hot Spots:**
    One of the best spots right now is below Willsboro, where the landlocked salmon runs are active. Another hot spot is the area around the Palisades and Slack Line, known for its bass and trout fishing. The deeper corners of the lake, particularly around the 70 islands, are also worth exploring for lake trout[1].

    Overall, it's a great day to get out on Lake Champlain, with the cooler weather and changing seasons bringing out some of the lake's best fish. Just make sure to bundle up and enjoy the scenic beauty of the lake while you're out there.

  • Autumn Fishing on Lake Champlain: A Local's Perspective on Promising Cold-Water Catch
    Nov 17 2024
    As of November 17, 2024, the fishing scene on Lake Champlain is looking promising, especially for those targeting cold-water species. Here’s a local’s perspective on what you can expect today.

    ### Weather and Tidal Conditions
    The weather today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 45°F and a low of 32°F, making it a crisp autumn day. Since Lake Champlain is a freshwater lake, it does not have tides, but water levels can fluctuate based on precipitation and human management. Currently, the water level is stable, which is favorable for fishing.

    ### 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
    Fish activity has been strong in recent weeks, particularly for cold-water species. Brown trout, salmon, and walleye have been active, especially in the deeper waters. The recent calm after the wind storms in August has allowed the fish to settle back into their usual patterns.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
    Yesterday saw a good number of brown trout and salmon caught, with some anglers reporting catches of up to 5-7 fish per trip. Walleye and muskie are also present, though they are a bit more elusive. Smallmouth and largemouth bass, while not as active in the cold, can still be caught in the warmer areas of the lake.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For trout and salmon, using spoons, spinners, and flys mimicking baitfish have been effective. Walleye are biting on jigs tipped with minnows or nightcrawlers. For muskie, large crankbaits and jerkbaits are recommended. Bass anglers have had success with soft plastics and crankbaits.

    ### Hot Spots
    Some of the best spots to try today include the areas around the Champlain Bridge, where the structure attracts a variety of species. The Mexico Bay area has also been productive, especially for trout and salmon. For bass, the rocky shores and weed beds around Grand Isle and the Inland Sea are worth exploring.

    Overall, it's a great day to be out on Lake Champlain, with plenty of fish to target and favorable conditions. Just make sure to dress warmly and enjoy the beautiful autumn scenery.
