  • Summary

  • Today, November 21, 2024, the fishing scene on Lake Champlain is looking promising, despite the late fall season. Here’s a rundown of what you can expect:

    **Weather and Tidal Report:**
    The weather is crisp with a high of around 45°F and a low of 30°F, typical for this time of year. Lake Champlain, being a freshwater lake, does not have tides, so you don't need to worry about tidal changes affecting your fishing.

    **Sunrise and Sunset:**
    Sunrise is at 6:54 AM, and sunset is at 4:14 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing.

    **Fish Activity:**
    Yesterday saw a decent amount of activity, particularly for lake trout and landlocked salmon. The lake trout were hitting on inline silver and blue spinners, as well as 4.3 Keitech swimbaits and blade baits[4].

    **Types and Amounts of Fish Caught:**
    Several anglers reported catching lake trout in the 3-5 pound range, and a few landlocked salmon were caught, mostly in the spring and fall runs. The trout fishing has been exceptional, with some anglers also catching walleye and bass, although these species are less active this time of year[1][4].

    **Best Lures and Bait:**
    For lake trout, use inline silver and blue spinners, 4.3 Keitech swimbaits, and blade baits. For landlocked salmon, try using spoons and streamers, especially in the spring and fall runs below Willsboro and farther upriver. Live bait such as smelt can also be effective for both trout and salmon[1][4].

    **Hot Spots:**
    One of the best spots right now is below Willsboro, where the landlocked salmon runs are active. Another hot spot is the area around the Palisades and Slack Line, known for its bass and trout fishing. The deeper corners of the lake, particularly around the 70 islands, are also worth exploring for lake trout[1].

    Overall, it's a great day to get out on Lake Champlain, with the cooler weather and changing seasons bringing out some of the lake's best fish. Just make sure to bundle up and enjoy the scenic beauty of the lake while you're out there.
