  • Ice Fishing Report for Lake Champlain - February 2025

    Ice Fishing Report for Lake Champlain - February 2025
    Feb 15 2025
    Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, and I'm here to give you the latest fishing report for Lake Champlain, straddling the borders of Vermont and New York, as of February 15, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the weather. Today, we're looking at a crisp winter morning with temperatures in the mid-20s to low 30s Fahrenheit. The sky is partly cloudy, which is ideal for ice fishing, as it reduces glare on the ice. Sunrise was at around 6:45 AM, and sunset will be at about 5:00 PM, giving us a good window to get out on the ice.

    Lake Champlain is currently frozen, making it a prime time for ice fishing. The ice cover is solid, especially in the bays and northern parts of the lake. There's no significant tidal activity to worry about since Lake Champlain is a freshwater lake.

    Recently, anglers have been reporting excellent catches of various species. For ice fishing, the main targets are jumbo northern pike, yellow perch, and walleye. Smallmouth and largemouth bass are also active, though they can be a bit more finicky in the cold water.

    For pike and walleye, using live bait such as minnows or suckers has been highly effective. These baits can be presented on tip-ups or jigged gently to attract these predators. For perch, small jigs tipped with grubs or tiny spoons like the Swedish Pimple are working well. Crappies, though not as active in the deep cold, can still be caught using small jigs and live bait in the shallower bays[3][5].

    If you prefer artificial lures, spoons and jigs in silver and green patterns are performing well for lake trout and salmon, though these species are less active under the ice. Crankbaits and spinners can also be effective for pike and bass when retrieved slowly to mimic injured baitfish[1][4].

    Some hot spots to consider include Bulwagga Bay near the southern end of the lake, which is known for its perch and crappie fishing. Another spot is Shelburne Bay, just south of Burlington, where you can find largemouth bass and northern pike. For those targeting lake trout, the middle section of the main lake, particularly around Westport to Cumberland Head, is a good area, though this might be more challenging under the ice[3][5].

    In summary, today is a great day to get out on Lake Champlain for some ice fishing. With the right gear and bait, you can expect a productive day on the ice. Just remember to dress warmly and stay safe.

    Happy fishing, and tight lines

  • Ice Fishing and Winter Hotspots on Lake Champlain

    Ice Fishing and Winter Hotspots on Lake Champlain
    Feb 14 2025
    Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, your go-to expert for all things fishing, and I'm here to give you the lowdown on what's happening on Lake Champlain as of February 14th, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the weather. Today, we're looking at a crisp winter morning with temperatures hovering around the mid-20s to low 30s Fahrenheit. The skies are partly cloudy, which is perfect for a day on the water. Sunrise was at about 6:45 AM, and sunset will be around 5:00 PM, giving us a good window to get some fishing done.

    Lake Champlain, straddling the Vermont and New York border, is a fantastic spot for winter fishing, especially for those who enjoy ice fishing. However, since the ice cover can vary, it's essential to check the current conditions before heading out. As of now, the bays at the north and south ends of the lake are starting to freeze, making them ideal spots for ice fishing.

    Recently, anglers have been reporting good catches of Lake Trout, Landlocked Salmon, and Smallmouth Bass. These species are particularly active during the cooler months. For Lake Trout, the middle section of the main lake, especially the area from Westport to Cumberland Head, is a hotspot. These fish often hold deep, so be prepared to jig or troll at depths over 100 feet[4].

    For those targeting Landlocked Salmon and Smallmouth Bass, the fall season's cooler water temperatures have brought them into shallower areas. Focus on main lake points, rocky shorelines, and drop-offs at depths of 25-40 feet. Spoons, crankbaits, and live minnows are performing well, especially those with silver and green patterns[1].

    If you're looking for other species, Lake Champlain also offers a great perch fishery. Yellow perch are abundant and can be found in mud and muck-bottomed areas, as well as on rock piles and reefs. During the ice fishing season, bays like Bulwagga Bay near the south end of the lake are popular spots[4].

    Now, let's talk about the best lures and bait. For Lake Trout and Salmon, spoons and live bait are top choices. Silver and green patterns are particularly effective for these species. For Smallmouth Bass, crankbaits and jigs along rocky shorelines are the way to go[1].

    If you prefer natural bait, live minnows, earthworms, and even small crayfish can be very effective. These baits offer a familiar texture, odor, and color that fish find irresistible[5].

    In terms of hot spots, Shelburne Bay just south of Burlington is a great place for largemouth bass. For lake trout, the area between Westport and Cumberland Head is a must-visit. And if you're after perch, Bulwagga Bay is your best bet[4].

    So, bundle up, grab your gear, and get out on the ice or in your boat. With the right lures and bait, and a bit of local knowledge, you're set for a fantastic day of fishing on Lake Champlain. Tight lines, everyone

  • Ice Fishing Report: Perch, Crappie, and Pike Abound on Lake Champlain

    Ice Fishing Report: Perch, Crappie, and Pike Abound on Lake Champlain
    Feb 12 2025
    Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, and I'm here to give you the lowdown on the current fishing scene around Lake Champlain, straddling the borders of Vermont and New York.

    First off, let's talk about the time of year. We're in the midst of winter, and for those brave enough to venture out onto the ice, Lake Champlain is offering some fantastic ice fishing opportunities. However, since the query is for February 12th, we'll focus on what's happening under the ice.

    ### Weather and Ice Conditions
    The weather today is quite chilly, which is perfect for maintaining the ice cover. Sunrise was at around 6:41 AM, and sunset will be at about 5:02 PM. The ice conditions are stable, making it a great time to get out there.

    ### Fish Activity
    Lake Champlain is home to over 90 species of fish, but during this time of year, the most active and sought-after species include jumbo northern pike, yellow perch, crappies, and even the occasional lake trout.

    Recently, anglers have been reporting good catches of yellow perch, particularly in areas like Bulwagga Bay and South Bay. These perch are often found in mud and muck-bottomed areas but can also be schooling on rock piles and reefs. Crappies are also starting to become more active as the ice fishing season peaks, often found in shallow bays and backwaters with abundant reeds and brush.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For ice fishing, the best lures and bait can vary depending on the target species. For yellow perch, small jigs tipped with live bait like maggots or tiny minnows are highly effective. Crappies can be caught using small jigging spoons or tiny plastic lures, often tipped with a minnow or a piece of bait.

    If you're targeting northern pike, larger spoons and tip-ups with live bait such as smelt or herring can be very productive. For lake trout, which can be deeper, using jigging lures or tip-ups with live bait near the bottom can yield good results.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the hot spots right now is Bulwagga Bay, located near the south end of the lake. This area is known for its abundant yellow perch and crappie populations. Another spot is South Bay, which is also a favorite among ice fishermen for its shallow bays and backwaters filled with reeds and brush.

    Town Farm Bay and Shelburne Bay are also worth mentioning, though they might be more productive for bass and other species during the warmer months. However, these areas can still hold some surprises under the ice.

    ### Tidal Report
    While Lake Champlain is a freshwater lake and does not have tides like saltwater bodies, it's worth noting that water levels can fluctuate due to wind and other environmental factors. However, these fluctuations are not as significant as tidal changes and do not typically affect ice fishing conditions.

    In summary, if you're planning to hit the ice on Lake Champlain today, be prepared for a chilly but rewarding experience. Target areas like Bulwagga Bay and South Bay, and don't hesitate to try out different lures and baits to see what works best for you. Stay warm, and tight lines
