Late Fall Migration Phase on Lake Champlain Fishing Report

Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure with your Lake Champlain fishing report for Tuesday, December 2nd. We've got some interesting conditions moving through the region as we head deeper into early winter.

Water temperatures are dropping significantly now, which means we're transitioning into what I call the late fall migration phase. The bass have had their fill from the feeding frenzy we saw a few weeks back and are starting to move toward their winter holding patterns. That means you'll want to focus on deeper structure and transition zones rather than shallow flats.

Weather-wise, keep an eye on things—we've had some wild conditions recently, so bundle up and check current forecasts before heading out. The National Weather Service out of Burlington is updating Lake Champlain recreational forecasts twice daily through December, so stay tuned to those for wind and wave conditions.

For lures, spinnerbaits are still underrated this time of year and absolutely work. You'll also want to throw swim jigs and soft plastics in natural colors that match the baitfish patterns. Since we're in early December, think minnow imitations—that's what's working right now.

I'd recommend checking out the shallower coves and creek mouths where structure holds bass transitioning to deeper water. Fort Ticonderoga area on the New York side offers some solid access points, and the Charlotte area near Mount Philo on the Vermont side gives you good coverage of the lake.
