Fishing Report 6-8-2010

Much needed rain has brought the river levels up nicely. The fishermen and the trout are happy about this. Still good action on the streams though the colder weather has slowed the hatches a bit.

Bass fishing on Lake Champlain has been really good. Top water baits are working real well for smallmouth when the water is not too rough. Bass season opens this Saturday on Champlain (a week earlier than the other waters).

Some really big fish were caught this past weekend during the Rotary International Derby including two lake trout over 15 pounds and three landlocked salmon over 7 pounds. It's only a matter of time before someone catches that 20 pound laker.
