Lake Champlain Fishing Report March 30, 2025 - Trout, Salmon, and Bass Action Heating Up


Listen Later

Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Champlain fishing report for March 30, 2025.

Sunrise today was at 6:32 AM, and we're looking at a sunset around 7:16 PM. Weather-wise, it's a bit chilly with temperatures in the mid-40s Fahrenheit. We've got partly cloudy skies and a light west wind at about 10 to 15 knots.

Now, onto the fishing! The lake level is sitting pretty steady, and the tides are looking good for today. We've got a low tide at 8:21 AM with a height of 4.53 feet, followed by a high tide at 11:48 AM reaching 7.55 feet. Another low tide comes in at 8:49 PM at 4.49 feet.

Folks, the fishing has been picking up nicely as we head into spring. We're seeing some decent action with lake trout and landlocked salmon in the deeper parts of the main lake. I've heard reports of some nice catches near Valcour Island and off the shores of Burlington.

Bass fishing is starting to heat up too. Anglers are pulling in some quality smallmouth using drop shots and jerkbaits in 15 to 25 feet of water. The Inland Sea area has been particularly productive.

For you pike enthusiasts, the shallow bays are warming up, and we're seeing some early season action. Try throwing some large spoons or swimbaits in areas like Missisquoi Bay or the Larabee's Point area.

Lure-wise, I'd recommend having a mix of jerkbaits, drop shot rigs, and some larger swimbaits for the pike. The Berkley PowerBait MaxScent Flat Worm on a drop shot has been a killer for smallmouth. For lake trout and salmon, try trolling with spoons like the Sutton 71 in copper or silver.

If you're looking for some hot spots, I'd suggest checking out Malletts Bay for a mix of species, or head up to the Inland Sea area for some good smallmouth action. The Champlain Bridge area has also been producing some nice lake trout.

Remember, folks, the key to success this time of year is to fish slow and deep. Don't be afraid to switch up your presentations if you're not getting any bites.

That's all for now, anglers. Stay safe out there, and tight lines!
