サマリー
あらすじ・解説
As of November 1, 2024, Lake Champlain is offering some fantastic fishing opportunities, despite the transitioning seasons. Here’s a local’s perspective on what you can expect.
### Weather and Tidal Conditions
Today, the weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 55°F and a low of 40°F. There is a slight chance of light rain in the afternoon. Lake Champlain, being a large freshwater lake, does not have tides, but water levels can fluctuate based on precipitation and human management.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise today is at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 4:47 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and late afternoon fishing.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw a decent amount of fish activity, particularly for cold-water species. Lake trout and landlocked Atlantic salmon were active, especially in the deeper waters. For those targeting warm-water species, largemouth and smallmouth bass were still biting, although the action was slower due to the cooler temperatures.
### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
Anglers reported catching several lake trout in the 3-5 pound range using deepwater jigging and downrigger trolling. Landlocked Atlantic salmon were also caught, with some weighing up to 6 pounds, primarily on lead-core lines. Bass fishing yielded a mix of largemouth and smallmouth bass, with the largest catches in the 2-4 pound range.
### Best Lures and Bait
For lake trout and Atlantic salmon, spoons and smelt-patterned lures were effective. Deep-diving crankbaits and soft plastics worked well for bass. Live bait such as smelt and shiners were also successful, especially for targeting panfish like yellow perch and bluegill.
### Hot Spots
One of the hot spots right now is the Willsboro Bay area, which offers a mix of shallow and deep water, making it ideal for targeting multiple species. Another spot is the Monitor Bay area in Crown Point, New York, which provides access to the southern portions of the lake and has been producing good numbers of bass and panfish.
### Additional Tips
Kayak fishing has been particularly effective in accessing secluded areas and shallow waters that larger boats can't reach. Early morning and late afternoon are the best times to fish, as these periods often see increased fish activity.
Overall, Lake Champlain continues to offer a diverse and rewarding fishing experience, even as the seasons change. Make sure to dress warmly and be prepared for the cooler weather.
