  • Summary

  • As of November 24, 2024, the fishing scene on Lake Champlain is still thriving despite the late fall season. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    The weather is expected to be partly cloudy, with temperatures ranging from the mid-30s to mid-40s Fahrenheit. Winds will be moderate, around 10-15 mph, which is manageable for most anglers. Although tides are not as significant on a freshwater lake like Champlain, recent rainfall has caused a slight rise in water levels, which can influence fish behavior.

    Sunrise today is at around 6:45 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 4:15 PM. These transitional periods are crucial for planning your fishing trip, as many species are more active during these times.

    Yesterday saw a lot of activity from various species. Anglers reported catching a good number of northern pike, largemouth and smallmouth bass, and even some trophy lake trout. The northern pike were particularly active in the shallower areas, while bass were found in both shallow and deeper waters. Lake trout were caught in deeper waters.

    Several anglers reported catching multiple northern pike in the 20-30 inch range. Bass catches were also plentiful, with some largemouth bass reaching up to 5 pounds and smallmouth bass up to 4 pounds. Lake trout were landed in the 10-15 pound range.

    For northern pike, inline silver and blue spinners, as well as 4.3 Keitech swimbaits, were highly effective. Bass were hitting on blade baits and soft plastics. Lake trout were attracted to inline silver and blue spinners and blade baits.

    Some of the hot spots include the areas around the Palisades and the Slack Line, where the structure and drop-offs attract a variety of fish. Another good spot is the northern end of the lake, particularly around the Missisquoi Bay, where the mix of shallow and deep waters supports a diverse fish population.

    Make sure to dress warmly and be prepared for the changing weather conditions. It's shaping up to be a great day on Lake Champlain, with plenty of fish to be caught. Good luck out there
