Trolling Tips & Tactics

Listen up, folks – if you want to maximize your chances of hooking into Lake Champlain's finest, trolling is the name of the game. We'll be rigging up with downriggers, planer boards, and sometimes good old-fashioned flat lines to cover all depths. Expect to see a spread of spoons, stick baits, and maybe even some cut bait, depending on what's hot. Our captains are always dialed into the latest patterns, so don't be surprised if we switch things up on the fly. Water temperature, time of year, and even the wind direction all play a part in where those fish are hanging out. And here's a pro tip: keep an eye on that fish finder. Seeing those arches light up the screen is half the fun – it means dinner's about to be served!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Lake Champlain is home to some seriously impressive gamefish, and we're here to help you tangle with the best of 'em. Let's break down what you might find on the end of your line:

Rainbow Trout: These acrobatic fighters are a blast to catch and even better on the grill. Rainbows in Champlain can push well over 5 pounds, and they're known for putting on a show with spectacular jumps. Spring and fall are prime time for these beauties, but don't rule out a summer surprise in the cooler, deeper waters.

Chinook Salmon: Ah, the king salmon – the crown jewel of Lake Champlain fishing. These bruisers can top 20 pounds and will test every bit of your angling skill. They're most active in the cooler months, especially fall when they start their spawning run. When a big king hits, hold on tight – you're in for one heck of a fight!

Brown Trout: Don't let the name fool you; these fish are anything but boring. Lake Champlain's browns are known for their size and cunning. They're often found cruising the shallows in spring and fall, but during summer, we'll hunt for them in deeper, cooler waters. Landing a big brown is a true trophy, and they're absolutely delicious to boot.

Lake Trout: These deep-water denizens are the true monsters of the lake. Lakers over 20 pounds aren't uncommon, and they put up a dogged fight all the way to the boat. We typically target them in the cooler months when they're more active in shallower water, but summer can produce some giants if you know where to look – and trust me, we do!

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Let me tell you, there's something special about fishing Lake Champlain that keeps folks coming back year after year. Maybe it's the rush of battling a trophy salmon as it tries to spool your reel. Or perhaps it's the peaceful moments between bites, when you're soaking in those postcard-worthy views of the surrounding mountains. For some, it's the thrill of never knowing what might hit your line next – will it be a hard-charging brown trout or a tackle-busting lake trout from the depths?

But if you ask me, it's the whole package. The fish, the scenery, the camaraderie of sharing the boat with friends or family – it all adds up to an experience you just can't get anywhere else. And let's not forget the bragging rights. There's nothing quite like showing off photos of your Lake Champlain lunkers to your buddies back home. Trust me, once you've fished these waters, you'll be counting the days until you can get back out here.
