  • Summary

  • As of October 24, 2024, the fishing scene on Lake Champlain is looking promising, especially with the fall season in full swing. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Weather and Tidal Conditions
    The weather today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 58 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 45 degrees. The winds are light, coming in from 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 is at 7:17 AM, and sunset is at 5:47 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and evening fishing.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw a lot of fish activity, particularly with bass and chain pickerel. Anglers reported success using wacky worms in the grass patches throughout the lake. The fall season has brought a surge in fish movement as they prepare for the colder months, making this an excellent time to catch a variety of species.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
    Bass, both largemouth and smallmouth, were the stars of the show yesterday. Several anglers reported catching multiple bass in the 2-4 pound range. Chain pickerel were also active, with some catches reaching up to 3 pounds. Walleye and northern pike were also spotted, though in smaller numbers.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For bass, wacky worms and soft plastic lures in natural colors like green pumpkin and watermelon have been highly effective. Jigs and crankbaits are also working well, especially in areas with submerged structures. For chain pickerel, using small jigs or spinnerbaits can yield good results. Live bait such as minnows and shiners is always a good option for walleye and northern pike.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the best spots right now is the area around the Champlain Bridge, where the grass patches and submerged rocks create ideal habitats for bass. Another hot spot is the mouth of the LaPlatte River, where the mixing of fresh and slightly warmer waters attracts a variety of fish species.

    Overall, Lake Champlain is offering some incredible fall fishing opportunities. With the right lures and knowledge of the hot spots, you’re set for a successful and enjoyable day on the water.
