Walleye
If you're after walleye in Vermont, St. Albans and Lake Champlain should be on your radar. This lake is known for its healthy walleye population, offering anglers a good chance at catching some quality fish. The best time to target walleye here is during the spring and fall months when water temperatures are cooler. During the spring spawn, walleye congregate in shallower areas near rocky reefs and spawning grounds. In the fall, they move back into the shallows to feed before winter. Trolling crankbaits or using jigs tipped with minnows are popular and effective techniques. A local tip is to focus on areas with current or structure, such as points, humps, and drop-offs. The area around the Sandbar Causeway is a known walleye hotspot. Be aware of the regulations for walleye on Lake Champlain, including size and creel limits. Also, pay attention to the wind and waves, as conditions can change quickly on the lake.
