Fishing Report May 9, 2010

Trout fishing is in full swing, most rivers are fishing well. Weather changes daily, cold and rainy one day and warm and sunny the next. Plenty of trout were stocked in the Boquet last week and are being caught on spinners and crawlers. Water temperature in the river is rising nicely. Caddis, bead head hares ear nymphs and stonefly nymphs working well. Hendricksons are starting to hatch.

On Lake Champlain salmon and laker fishing has been good. Lake trout are starting to move shallow and many are being caught close to shore. Water temps are approaching 50 degrees in many areas and salmon bite is really starting to turn on. Reports of some nice catches out of Westport and Willsboro on small Rapalas, Thundersticks, Stingers, and streamer flies.

Crappie, bluegills biting well on Champlain, and some nice big Pike reported in AuSable Point area, Otter creek, and Ticonderoga.
