  • Summary

  • As of October 20, 2024, the fishing scene on Lake Champlain is quite vibrant, despite the low water levels that have been a recurring theme.

    ### Weather and Tidal Conditions
    Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 58°F and a low of 45°F. The winds will be moderate, blowing at about 10 mph from the northwest. Since Lake Champlain is a freshwater lake, tidal reports are not applicable, but water levels continue to be low.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at 7:04 AM, and sunset will be at 5:53 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing trips.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw a lot of activity, particularly around the outer weed edges in 10-15 feet of water. Anglers reported catching a significant number of Northern Pike and Largemouth Bass. Light tackle jigging also yielded good numbers of Yellow Perch, Bluegills, and some Crappie.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
    The catch included many Pike, Bass, and a few trophy trout. The Bass and Pike trips were particularly successful, with some days seeing catches of 40-50 fish.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For Pike and Bass, using lures that mimic baitfish such as spoons and crankbaits have been effective. For the smaller species like Yellow Perch and Bluegills, light tackle jigging with small jigs and live bait like worms or minnows is recommended.

    ### Hot Spots
    Two hot spots to consider are the outer weed edges around the middle of the lake and the areas near Buoy 39 Marina and Larrabees Point. These areas have been producing consistent results for both Bass and Pike.

    Overall, it's a great time to be out on Lake Champlain, with plenty of fish to go around and favorable weather conditions. Just remember to adapt your tactics to the low water levels and changing weather patterns. Tight lines
