Walleye
While West Burke might be better known for other species, dedicated anglers can still find walleye opportunities in the surrounding Northeast Kingdom lakes and ponds. The key is to target deeper, cooler waters, especially during the warmer months. While not as abundant as in Lake Champlain, the walleye in places like nearby Island Pond or Crystal Lake can be quite respectable in size. Spring and fall are your best bets, as the fish move shallower to spawn or feed. Try trolling crankbaits or jigging with live bait near rocky drop-offs and points. A local tip: check the Vermont Fish & Wildlife website for stocking reports, as some smaller water bodies may receive periodic walleye introductions. Be prepared to put in some time searching, as the walleye population isn't as concentrated as in larger, more established fisheries, but the reward of landing a nice walleye in a secluded Vermont setting is well worth the effort.
