Lake Champlain Fishing Reports

Latest Lake Champlain Fishing Reports from Captain Thorny’s Fishing Charters

Recent Lake Champlain fishing reports show consistent action with quality Lake Trout and Atlantic Salmon being landed throughout the week. Anglers are finding success targeting deeper structures and open water zones, with trolling and jigging producing steady bites. Brown Trout and Rainbow Trout are also showing up in good numbers, giving guests a mixed bag on many trips. These Lake Champlain fishing reports highlight current conditions, active feeding windows, and some of the best times to target trophy fish in the area.

Captain Thorny’s Fishing Charters continues to provide family-friendly fishing trips designed for all ages and experience levels. The boat setup is safe and comfortable, with space for up to 4 guests, making it ideal for small families and groups. Kids and beginners benefit from simple, easy-to-follow instruction, while more experienced anglers can focus on refining techniques and targeting specific species. These trips are built around a relaxed pace, helpful guidance, and creating a positive experience on the water.

Fishing in Lake Champlain stays productive across multiple seasons, with changing conditions bringing different opportunities throughout the year. Spring and fall are strong for Salmon and Lake Trout, while warmer months offer chances at Walleye, Northern Pike, and Bass in shallower areas. Real-time conditions like water temperature, wind direction, and bait movement all play a role, and Captain Rob adjusts each trip to stay on active fish. With consistent reports and local expertise, this is a reliable option for anglers looking to fish Lake Champlain year-round and plan their next trip with confidence.

Lake Champlain - Chittenden, VT Lake Report on 14th May, 2026 - 4

Jim Rogers came out on Sunday with Jackson and his Grandfather. We had a hot early bite of Limit and Release Salmon Fishing! My good friends Frank and Greg came out yesterday. After a slow start in some cold water, we made a move and LIT THEM UP! This years class of 2 year olds is exceptionally healthy with very few lamprey. I am really optimistic for the future of our Salmon fishery! Give me a call to come see it for yourself while I still have some openings 🎣🎣🎣!

2 more days of "Joyful Kaos" with Limit and Release fishing on board the CathyJean. Thursday Dennis and his crew of ball busting buddies with nonstop Salmon and a 10lb Laker. Sunday John brought his wife and kids out for a Mother's day we will never forget. What a wonderful day we had with his family. After a slow start, things heated up fast with doubles and triples and 2 Salmon on one rod! Then John had a 6lb Salmon smoke a CathyJean on a minidisc that put on an unforgettable acrobatic performance! What a year we are having on the deck of the CathyJean! #lakechamplain #atlanticsalmonfishing
