Walleye
For walleye fishing near Winooski, Vermont, Lake Champlain is your best bet. While the Winooski River may occasionally hold a few, Lake Champlain's extensive waters offer a much more consistent and productive walleye fishery. Focus your efforts around rocky points, submerged humps, and areas with current, especially near bridges and causeways. Spring (shortly after ice-out) and fall (September-November) are peak seasons, as walleye tend to concentrate in these areas for spawning or feeding. A valuable local tip: troll crankbaits along the edges of drop-offs in the early morning or late evening for consistent results. Also, jigging with soft plastics or blade baits can be effective. Be aware of the specific regulations regarding walleye size and creel limits, as they can change annually. Lake Champlain walleye can grow to impressive sizes, with fish over 8 pounds being caught regularly, making it a popular destination for walleye anglers.
