"Catch of the Day: Thriving Fall Fishing on Lake Champlain"

  • Summary

  • As of October 25, 2024, Lake Champlain is offering some of the best fall fishing conditions you could ask for. Since Lake Champlain is a freshwater lake, there are no tidal reports to consider, but the water levels are currently stable, making it ideal for fishing.

    The weather today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 62 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 45 degrees. Winds will be moderate, blowing at about 10 mph from the northwest, creating pleasant conditions for a day on the lake. Sunrise is at 7:04 AM, and sunset will be at 6:04 PM, providing a good window for both morning and evening fishing trips.

    Fish activity has been robust, particularly for bass and pike. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a significant number of largemouth and smallmouth bass, as well as northern pike and chain pickerel. The bass have been active in the grass patches throughout the gut of the lake, while pike have been found in the deeper weed beds. Additionally, there were reports of walleye and yellow perch being caught.

    For largemouth bass, using lures that mimic the schools of shad, emerald shiners, and silver sides that the bass are actively chasing is highly effective. Soft plastics, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits are good choices. For northern pike, try using larger spoons or spinnerbaits that can reach the deeper weed beds.

    Some hot spots include the areas around Buoy 39 Marina, where the Rutland BASS Club AOY Series recently reported several catches of both largemouth and smallmouth bass. Another good spot is the grass patches and drop-offs in the central part of the lake, where fish are actively feeding.

    Overall, Lake Champlain is in prime condition for a successful day of fishing, with plenty of active fish and favorable weather conditions.
