Captain Chris operates Vermont Fishing Adventures on Lake Champlain, a 109-mile lake straddling Vermont and New York known for its exceptional diversity of cold and warm-water species. He runs a year-round operation targeting lake trout and Atlantic salmon in early spring as they move into shallower waters, transitioning to largemouth and smallmouth bass, walleye, and northern pike as the season progresses. His approach emphasizes adaptability and reading the lake's seasonal moods to match conditions with the right species and technique.

Fishing methods and approaches
My season on Lake Champlain is a dynamic pursuit, dictated by the changing moods of the water and the migrations of its inhabitants. While I operate year-round, the prime fishing often begins as the ice recedes and the lake awakens. Early season is fantastic for targeting large lake trout and salmon as they move into shallower waters. As spring progresses into summer, the focus shifts to the abundant bass populations and the powerful walleye, with opportunities for pike thrown in depending on conditions. The beauty of Lake Champlain is its diversity; we can adapt our strategy to whatever the lake offers, ensuring an exciting trip whether you're after a trophy salmon or a feisty smallmouth.
