  • "Vibrant Fishing on Lake Champlain: Navigating Dynamic Weather and Abundant Catches"
    Nov 2 2024
    As of November 2, 2024, the fishing scene on Lake Champlain is quite vibrant, despite the transitioning weather. Here’s a rundown of what you can expect:

    ### Weather and Tidal Conditions
    The weather has been quite dynamic, with frequent rainsqualls passing through the area in recent days. Today, expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 55°F and a low of 45°F. The winds are moderate, blowing at about 10 mph from the northwest. Tidal movements, although not as significant as in coastal areas, still influence the fish behavior, especially around the lake's many inlets and outlets.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise today is at 6:34 AM, and sunset is at 4:34 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and late afternoon fishing.

    ### Fish Activity
    Fish activity has been robust, particularly for species like bass, trout, and salmon. Yesterday saw a lot of aggressive feeding, especially around bridge pilings and other structural elements. Bass were actively hitting Ned rigs and drop shots, while trout and salmon were more responsive to live bait like smelt.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
    Anglers reported catching a mix of largemouth and smallmouth bass, with several quality fish in the 3-5 pound range. Trout, including lake trout and rainbow trout, were also plentiful, with some catches weighing up to 8 pounds. Salmon, though less common, were still caught in decent numbers, especially in the deeper waters.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For bass, using Ned rigs around bridge pilings and drop shots in slightly deeper waters has been highly effective. For trout and salmon, live smelt and spoons like the Rapala Countdown have been the go-to choices. Jigs tipped with minnows or curly tail grubs are also producing good results.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the hot spots right now is the area around the Champlain Bridge, where the structural elements seem to be attracting a lot of fish. Another good spot is the Inland Sea, particularly the deeper sections where trout and salmon tend to congregate. The shoreline areas around Ticonderoga and Port Henry are also worth exploring, especially for shore fishing.

    Overall, Lake Champlain is offering some excellent fishing opportunities, even as the weather cools down. Make sure to dress warmly and be prepared for changing conditions, but the rewards are well worth the effort.

  • Fishing Lake Champlain's Transitioning Seasons: Trout, Salmon, and Bass Bite Strong in November
    Nov 1 2024
    As of November 1, 2024, Lake Champlain is offering some fantastic fishing opportunities, despite the transitioning seasons. Here’s a local’s perspective on what you can expect.

    ### Weather and Tidal Conditions
    Today, the weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 55°F and a low of 40°F. There is a slight chance of light rain in the afternoon. Lake Champlain, being a large freshwater lake, does not have tides, but water levels can fluctuate based on precipitation and human management.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise today is at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 4:47 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and late afternoon fishing.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw a decent amount of fish activity, particularly for cold-water species. Lake trout and landlocked Atlantic salmon were active, especially in the deeper waters. For those targeting warm-water species, largemouth and smallmouth bass were still biting, although the action was slower due to the cooler temperatures.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
    Anglers reported catching several lake trout in the 3-5 pound range using deepwater jigging and downrigger trolling. Landlocked Atlantic salmon were also caught, with some weighing up to 6 pounds, primarily on lead-core lines. Bass fishing yielded a mix of largemouth and smallmouth bass, with the largest catches in the 2-4 pound range.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For lake trout and Atlantic salmon, spoons and smelt-patterned lures were effective. Deep-diving crankbaits and soft plastics worked well for bass. Live bait such as smelt and shiners were also successful, especially for targeting panfish like yellow perch and bluegill.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the hot spots right now is the Willsboro Bay area, which offers a mix of shallow and deep water, making it ideal for targeting multiple species. Another spot is the Monitor Bay area in Crown Point, New York, which provides access to the southern portions of the lake and has been producing good numbers of bass and panfish.

    ### Additional Tips
    Kayak fishing has been particularly effective in accessing secluded areas and shallow waters that larger boats can't reach. Early morning and late afternoon are the best times to fish, as these periods often see increased fish activity.

    Overall, Lake Champlain continues to offer a diverse and rewarding fishing experience, even as the seasons change. Make sure to dress warmly and be prepared for the cooler weather.

    Oct 31 2024
    As of October 31, 2024, here’s a local’s perspective on the fishing scene at Lake Champlain, spanning across Vermont and New York.

    ### Weather and Tidal Conditions
    Today, the weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 55°F and a low of 40°F. Lake Champlain, being a freshwater lake, does not have tides, but water levels are currently low. This condition has been favorable for finding fish in specific areas.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at 7:23 AM, and sunset is at 5:04 PM, giving anglers a good window to catch both morning and evening bites.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw a lot of activity, particularly for Northern Pike and Largemouth Bass. These fish are congregating on the outer weed edges in 10-15 feet of water. The low water levels have made these areas more accessible and productive.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
    There were plenty of Northern Pike and Largemouth Bass caught, with some anglers reporting up to 40-50 fish per trip. Additionally, there were catches of Yellow Perch, Bluegills, and some Crappie. Trout and Steelhead are also starting to show up, especially in the tributaries like the Saranac and Boquet rivers.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For Pike and Bass, light tackle jigging with soft plastics or crankbaits has been effective. Tip-ups with live bait such as shiners or suckers are also producing good results. For the smaller species like Yellow Perch and Bluegills, small jigs tipped with worms or minnows are working well.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the hot spots right now is the outer weed edges around the Champlain Islands. Another productive area is the mouth of the Saranac River, where anglers are catching a mix of species including Trout and Steelhead.

    Overall, it's a great time to be on Lake Champlain, with a variety of fish active and accessible in the current conditions. Make sure to adjust your tactics according to the changing weather and water levels to maximize your catch.
