As of November 9, 2024, the fishing scene on Lake Champlain is looking very 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 lake trout and landlocked Atlantic salmon. These cold-water species have been active in the deeper sections of the lake. Yesterday, anglers reported catching several lake trout in the 3-5 pound range, along with a few landlocked Atlantic salmon. Smallmouth bass fishing was also good, with many fish caught in the shallower areas.
For lake trout and Atlantic salmon, using spoons like the Vision 110+1jr or similar deep-diving lures has been effective. For smallmouth bass, soft plastics and crankbaits are working well. Live bait such as smelt or shiners can also be very productive for all these species.
Some of the hot spots right now include the area around the Palisades and Slack Line, known for its rocky structures that attract both bass and trout. Another good spot is the northern part of the lake near the Champlain Bridge, where the deeper waters are home to lake trout and Atlantic salmon.
Overall, it's a great day to get out on Lake Champlain, with the cooler weather and stable water conditions making it ideal for targeting these cold-water species. Just be sure to dress warmly and be prepared for the moderate winds.
