  • Summary

  • As of November 16, 2024, the fishing scene on Lake Champlain is looking promising, especially for those targeting cold-water species. Here’s what you can expect today:

    The weather is partly cloudy with a high of around 48°F and a low of 38°F. Winds are moderate, coming in from the northwest at about 10-15 mph. Since Lake Champlain is a freshwater lake, there are no tidal reports to consider, but water levels are currently stable.

    Sunrise today is at 6:34 AM, and sunset will be at 4:23 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing trips.

    Fish activity has been robust, particularly for species like lake trout, landlocked Atlantic salmon, walleye, and muskie. Yesterday saw a decent amount of fish activity, with anglers reporting catches of lake trout weighing up to 10 pounds, especially in the deeper sections of the lake.

    For lures, consider using spoons, jigs, and crankbaits that mimic the natural baitfish in the lake. Live bait such as smelt, shiners, and even nightcrawlers can also be very effective, especially for trout and walleye.

    Some hot spots to consider include the areas around the Champlain Bridge, where the structure and currents tend to congregate fish, and the deeper waters off the shores of Grand Isle and Cumberland Head. These areas have been known to hold a good number of lake trout and salmon.

    Overall, the fall season brings these fish into more active feeding patterns as they prepare for the winter months, making this a great time to be out on Lake Champlain. Dress warmly and enjoy the crisp fall fishing experience.
