Fishing continues to be very good on the big lake. Water levels have continued to drop and access is now good everywhere.
Salmon anglers are catching fish trolling anywhere from just under the surface down to 40-50'. The fish are still spread out at different depths. Some hot lures for salmon have been: Michigan Stingers, Cleo's, Needlefish, Honeybees, Dreamweaver Spoons. The large size and quantity of the salmon being caught is really amazing. This season has seen the best Lake Champlain salmon fishing since the early 90's.
Lake trout action has been a bit slower but many nice fish have been caught in the last couple of weeks. Trolling spooons at different depths down to 50' is what is working the best.
This has been a great spring for Lake Champlain brown trout and steelhead with more of these fish being caught this year than in recent memory.
Bass fishing action continues to be good. Most Champlain bass have spawned by now so the fish are a bit more spread out and the bigger females less active. Best action for smallmouth is on tubes and Senkos with dark colors like green pumpkin and watermelon. Topwater action can be great this time of year on lures like the Zara puppy, Rapala Skitter Pop, and Heddon Torpedo.
