  • Lake Champlain Fishing Report: Trophy Bass, Rebounding Trout, and Multispecies Bonanza

    Lake Champlain Fishing Report: Trophy Bass, Rebounding Trout, and Multispecies Bonanza
    May 5 2025
    ARTIFICIAL LURE'S LAKE CHAMPLAIN FISHING REPORT
    May 5, 2025

    Good mornin' anglers! Artificial Lure here with your fresh Lake Champlain report for today, May 5th.

    The sun's already peekin' over the Green Mountains, risin' at 5:37 AM and givin' us plenty of daylight until sunset at 8:04 PM. Weather's lookin' mighty fine today - partly cloudy with temperatures in the low 60s, perfect for a day on the water.

    Folks, the bass action is absolutely on fire right now! Just heard about Vermont angler Roy Gangloff landin' a monster 7-pound 13-ounce largemouth in the Ticonderoga section last week. Roy was slingin' a half-ounce chartreuse black back Rat-L-Trap - that particular lure has been absolute dynamite this spring, especially for the big ones.

    The smallmouth bite is also pickin' up steam as water temperatures continue to climb. These bronzebacks are movin' shallow gettin' ready to spawn, and they're hittin' perch-patterned and white jerkbaits pretty aggressively. Should only get better as we push through the week.

    Lake trout fishin' has seen a remarkable turnaround. After 50 years of restoration efforts, the wild lake trout population has officially rebounded enough that hatchery stockin' has been suspended. The lamprey control program's been payin' off big time, helpin' build a recreational fishery worth about $474 million annually to our region.

    Don't forget about northern pike, musky, yellow perch, and walleye - they're all abundant in Champlain right now, makin' it a true multi-species paradise.

    For you trout enthusiasts, freshly stocked waters around the region are fishin' well. If you're lookin' to mix it up, trolling for salmon with DB Smelt spoons has been productive.

    As for hot spots today:

    1. Ticonderoga section is still the place to be for trophy largemouth - focus on shallow structure and work those Rat-L-Traps slow and steady.

    2. Malletts Bay is heating up for smallmouth - try workin' rocky points with jerkbaits or swimbaits.

    No need to worry about tides on our beloved lake, but wind direction can push water around a bit, so keep an eye on that northwest breeze today.

    Remember, with water temps still on the rise, you might need to slow your presentation down in the morning hours until things warm up.

    That's the word from the water today, folks. Lake Champlain's fishin' mighty fine, and she's been named one of the Top U.S. Fishing Lakes for 2025 for good reason. Get out there and wet a line - the fish are waitin'!

    Tight lines,
    Artificial Lure

  • "Spring Fishing Heats Up on Lake Champlain: Crankbaits, Jigs, and Jigging for Bass, Trout, and Walleye"

    "Spring Fishing Heats Up on Lake Champlain: Crankbaits, Jigs, and Jigging for Bass, Trout, and Walleye"
    May 4 2025
    This is Artificial Lure with your Lake Champlain fishing report for Sunday, May 4, 2025.

    After a stretch of mild temperatures, this weekend is catching anglers at just the right time for spring action. Early May always signals big bass, cool nights, and the best shot at catching some of the lake’s legendary multi-species bags. Sunrise this morning came right around 5:37 AM and sunset will hit at about 8:01 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get after them. Skies are mostly clear today with calm to light winds from the southwest, and air temps reaching into the upper 60s by afternoon. Water temps are hovering from the high 40s in deeper sections up to the mid-50s in shallow coves, just about perfect for a shallow bite. No tidal activity to worry about on the lake, but the wind can move water and bait into staging areas, especially on the Vermont side.

    This past week saw some outstanding largemouth and smallmouth catches, especially around Ticonderoga. Vermont angler Roy Gangloff landed a 7-pound, 13-ounce largemouth on a 1/2-ounce chartreuse black back Rat-L-Trap, proving again that lipless crankbaits rule the spring bite. Bass are feeding hard ahead of the spawn and Rat-L-Traps, jerkbaits, and slow-rolled swimbaits in perch patterns continue to put up numbers. Hot baits for smallies include white or natural tube jigs, Ned rigs, and drop-shot rigs with live shad or soft plastics. Largemouth are pounding chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, and the always reliable Senko.

    Lake trout are doing well, with stable populations reported and a lot of healthy fish showing up in the broader main lake basins. Jigging with white tubes or trolling with spoons like DB Smelt has been consistent. With lamprey numbers under control, expect more quality trout this season. Yellow perch are biting readily in the shallows, particularly in protected bays, on small minnows or worms.

    Walleye season is just starting to heat up, with anglers picking up keepers during the low light windows, especially around drop-offs near the mouths of Otter Creek and the Lamoille River. Try using a jig tipped with a crawler or minnow.

    Top hot spots today include the Ticonderoga flats for big largemouth and the Sandbar causeway area east of South Hero for aggressive smallmouth feeding on bait balls. For trout and salmon shots, head off Willsboro Bay and start trolling mid-depths with small spoons.

    If you’re heading out, bring your polarized glasses and keep an eye on the shallows for cruising fish. The bite is steady, and it’s shaping up to be a banner spring on Champlain.

    Tight lines and see you on the water!

  • Lake Champlain May Fishing Report: Largemouth, Smallmouth, Walleye, and More on the Bite

    Lake Champlain May Fishing Report: Largemouth, Smallmouth, Walleye, and More on the Bite
    May 3 2025
    This is Artificial Lure, coming at you with your Lake Champlain fishing report for Saturday, May 3, 2025. The weather is starting off in true spring style—cool but warming quickly, and the lake is waking up right along with us. Sunrise is at 5:36 AM today, with sunset just after 8 PM, which means plenty of daylight to chase those spring fish across both the Vermont and New York sides.

    After a stretch of cool nights, water temps are on the rise again, and the action is heating up. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are both active right now, especially as they’re moving toward or into their spawn depending on where you are on the lake. Just last week, a Vermont angler landed a giant 7-pound, 13-ounce largemouth on the Ticonderoga stretch using a half-ounce chartreuse and black back Rat-L-Trap. That lure is a local spring staple and it’s been flat-out getting it done on the southern end[1].

    For smallmouth, there are fresh reports of them staging on points and rocky shoals, with the fish hitting hard jerkbaits like the Megabass 110+1 in Mat Shad, as well as blade baits and Ned rigs earlier in the week. Smallmouth have been coming in shallower, around rocky points, and are feeding heavier as water temps push toward the upper 40s and 50s. If you find baitfish or a bit of wind on a point, it’s worth working it with a jerkbait or drop shot[5].

    Walleye and northern pike remain solid options too, especially around the Missisquoi and Lamoille River mouths, or the weedier bays on the New York side. Yellow perch continue to bite in back bays and near docks, giving families and panfish anglers a lot to smile about[4].

    As for best lures and bait, your spring go-tos are shining. Rat-L-Traps in bold colorways, hard jerkbaits, and blade baits are excellent for both largemouth and smallmouth. Ned rigs, finesse hair jigs, and drop shots are all scoring bites, especially as the water warms. For live bait, minnows and nightcrawlers work well for multi-species action, especially when targeting perch or walleye in deeper holes and transition edges.

    A couple of hot spots to check out: the Ticonderoga section for big largemouth—think flooded brush and edges where bluegill are present—and the Grand Isle area or Rock Dunder for smallmouth staging on points and rock piles. Finally, don’t overlook the Missisquoi Bay for mixed bag fishing, especially in the shallower zones with emerging weeds.

    That’s it for today’s report. The bite is only going to get better from here as we move into May, so get out there, keep switching up those colors, and don’t be afraid to cover water. Tight lines from Artificial Lure!
