Lake Champlain remains above flood stage. The lake level which set an all time record this spring has been gradually receding but still remains very high. Many boat launches and accesses are still closed.
Anglers who are able to get out on the water are reporting good spring fishing for lake trout and salmon. Bass and pike fishing has also been productive. The high water has fish up in the flooded timber.
Please use extreme caution navigating as the lake is covered with floating debris. You may see a branch sticking out but floating just underwater may be a 50' tree.
