  • Lake Champlain Fishing Report: Bronzebacks, Lakers, and Trophy Bass Abound

    Lake Champlain Fishing Report: Bronzebacks, Lakers, and Trophy Bass Abound
    May 18 2025
    Good morning anglers, Artificial Lure here with your Lake Champlain fishing report for Sunday, May 18, 2025.

    We've got another gorgeous day on the water with sunrise at 5:29 AM and sunset expected around 8:10 PM, giving us plenty of time to reel in some beauties. Weather's shaping up nicely with temperatures starting in the low 50s and climbing to the upper 60s by afternoon. Skies are clear with light winds from the south around 5-8 mph. Water levels remain stable with excellent clarity throughout the lake. No need to worry about tides here on our inland waters, of course.

    The smallmouth action continues to be red-hot across the lake. These bronzebacks have been surging for the past week, with consistent catches in the 1-3 pound range. They're stacking up around submerged rock piles, gravel flats, and near docks. Drop shots and Texas rigs remain your best bet for smallmouth success, while bladed jigs like the Z-Man Chatterbait Elite EVO are producing well when worked slowly along weedy edges and rocky points.

    Largemouth fishing remains excellent, especially after that monster 7-pound 13-ounce beast caught earlier this month on a Rat-L-Trap. The Ticonderoga section has been the go-to spot for largemouth hunters looking to land their own wall-hanger.

    Lake trout fishing is still productive, with reports showing fewer lamprey wounds on wild lakers compared to stocked fish. With lake trout stocking set to end after this year, it's worth noting how our wild populations are holding up. For you laker enthusiasts, focus on deeper structure, particularly the waters off Plattsburgh.

    Salmon fishing has been consistent in the waters off Willsboro, while the shallows around the islands are prime territory for bass. If you're targeting trout and salmon, those DB Smelt spoons have been working wonders lately.

    Hot spots this weekend include the islands near Burlington for smallmouth action, the deeper waters off Plattsburgh for lake trout, and don't overlook the Ticonderoga section if you're chasing trophy largemouth.

    As always, remember to check your regulations, practice catch and release when possible, and treat our beautiful lake with respect. This is Artificial Lure signing off – tight lines to all of you, and I'll see you on the water!

  • Lake Champlain Fishing Report: Surging Smallmouth, Massive Largemouth, and Steady Trout Action

    Lake Champlain Fishing Report: Surging Smallmouth, Massive Largemouth, and Steady Trout Action
    May 17 2025
    Good morning from Lake Champlain, this is Artificial Lure with your local fishing report for Saturday, May 17, 2025. We’re rolling into the heart of spring, and the lake is alive with action from Vermont’s Green Mountains to New York’s Adirondack shore.

    Today’s sunrise was right around 5:33 AM and you’ll have plenty of daylight with sunset not until about 8:06 PM. The weather is shaping up nicely—cool in the upper 40s at first light and warming to the mid-60s by afternoon. Skies are mostly clear, with a gentle south breeze at 5 to 10 mph. No tides to worry about here since Lake Champlain is an inland lake, and water clarity remains excellent after a stretch of stable levels.

    Fishing activity has been red-hot this week. Smallmouth bass are surging, with lots of fish in the 1 to 3 pound range being caught around submerged rock piles, gravel flats, and near docks or launches. Anglers have done well working drop shot rigs and Texas rigs, and bladed jigs like the Z-Man Chatterbait Elite EVO have been especially productive when retrieved slow along weeds and rocks. The islands near Burlington are a top smallmouth spot right now.

    Largemouth bass have been the headline story down at Ticonderoga. Earlier this week, a local angler boated a truly massive Champlain largemouth weighing in at 7 pounds, 13 ounces on a Rat-L-Trap. Largies are also biting well in the shallower bays, especially around laydowns and weed edges.

    Lake trout fishing remains steady, especially off the deeper structure near Plattsburgh. With the lake trout stocking program wrapping up after this spring, most catches are now wild fish—and anglers have noticed fewer lamprey wounds on these healthy lakers. The tried and true DB Smelt spoons are still the go-to for both trout and salmon, with consistent salmon reports coming from the Willsboro area.

    If you’re looking for a couple of hot spots today, try the Ticonderoga stretch for largemouth and the island clusters near Burlington for smallmouth. The deeper drops off Plattsburgh and out off Willsboro are your best bets for trout and salmon.

    For live bait, shiners and nightcrawlers are always a solid choice if the water’s a little cool or the bite slows down, but artificial baits are excelling all around.

    That’s it for today’s report. Remember to check the latest regulations, handle your catch with care, and enjoy everything Lake Champlain has to offer. Tight lines and good luck out there!

  • Lake Champlain Fishing Report - Smallmouth Surge, Laker Comeback and More

    Lake Champlain Fishing Report - Smallmouth Surge, Laker Comeback and More
    May 16 2025
    LAKE CHAMPLAIN FISHING REPORT - May 16, 2025

    Good morning anglers, Artificial Lure here with your Lake Champlain fishing report for Friday, May 16th.

    The sun rose at 5:22 AM today and will set at 8:17 PM, giving us plenty of daylight hours on the water. Weather-wise, we're looking at a mild day with temperatures in the mid-60s, light winds from the northwest at 5-10 mph, and partly cloudy skies - perfect fishing conditions!

    The big story continues to be the smallmouth surge we've been experiencing since last week. These bronzebacks are absolutely on fire, especially along the rocky points and drop-offs near Valcour Island and Willsboro Bay. Anglers are reporting limits of 3-4 pound smallies, with a few trophy 5-pounders mixed in. Tube jigs in green pumpkin and drop shot rigs with 4" finesse worms have been the ticket for these fighters.

    Largemouth action remains strong in the bays and weed beds of the Inland Sea. One local angler landed a monster 7.5-pounder near St. Albans Bay using a white spinnerbait along weed edges. For the bucketmouths, try working Texas-rigged soft plastics through the emerging weed beds or throwing topwater frogs in the early morning.

    Lake trout fishing continues to impress following the big news that stocking will end after this spring due to the successful restoration of wild populations. The lake trout are holding their own with increasing natural reproduction, and some locals have noted fewer lamprey wounds on wild fish compared to stocked ones. Deep trolling with spoons in the Main Lake Basin at 70-90 feet has been productive, especially near the Burlington Ledges and Port Henry.

    Salmon enthusiasts are finding success between Split Rock and Shelburne Point, with downriggers set between 40-60 feet. Flasher and fly combinations in green/silver have been hot, along with Michigan stinger spoons.

    For panfish, crappies and bluegills are active in the shallow bays, with Bulwagga Bay and Missisquoi Bay producing consistent catches on small jigs tipped with worms.

    Hot spots for the weekend: For smallmouth, focus on the Inland Sea around the islands. For lakers, the deep water off Burlington is your best bet. And don't overlook Mallets Bay for a mixed bag of species.

    Bait shops are well-stocked with live bait, including nightcrawlers, leeches, and shiners, but artificial lures have been outperforming live bait in most areas.

    Remember, with the lake trout restoration success now official, we're witnessing a historic moment on Champlain. The decades of conservation work are paying off with a self-sustaining fishery that promises great action for years to come.

    That's the report for today, May 16th. This is Artificial Lure, reminding you to keep your line tight and your stories even tighter! See you on the water.
