Lake Champlain has something for all fishermen, whether you prefer fishing the open lake, backwaters, or rivers, the opportunities are here. With 141 miles of waterway, Lake Champlain abounds with a great variety of both warmwater and coldwater fish and is known as one of the best bass fisheries in the nation with both large and smallmouth caught season long. An abundance of Northern pike are also found throughout the lake, with fish weighing up to a possible 20 pounds. Bass and pike are just the beginning though. Spring walleye fishing is a favorite within the lower Missisquoi, Winooski and Lamoille rivers entering the big lake. Yellow perch, white perch, crappie, catfish and the occasional muskie round out the superb warm water opportunities on Lake Champlain. Lake Champlain also provides coldwater fishing of lake trout and Atlantic salmon. Coldwater fishing has improved within the years with fish growth rates up and lamprey hits down. Want to add a little excitement to your fishing expedition? Every year The Lake Champlain International Inc (LCI) hosts a Father’s day derby. The LCI is a fishery and water conservation organization that hosts the yearly derby as its main form of fundraising. Over 6,000 anglers compete for cash and prizes.
