Lake Champlain Trout Scout Charters

13/06/2024

Paul, Chris, and Ralph had a successful 6-hour trip on Champlain, benefiting from favorable weather and fish that bit well. They caught a good number of fish and some even got to go home with them. It was a pleasure spending time with them and we'll see them again next year.

Roger and Mike returned to Lake Champlain for a day filled with fun. Due to lightning in the area, they had a late start and dropped lines in the water around 9:00. The rods soon started popping, and fish were brought to the net all day. It was a great time, as always, with plenty of fish and laughs on the water.
They kept a couple to take home and the rest were returned to be caught another day.

Missy Jean's shift cable bellows leak early yesterday morning necessitated a boat change, and I informed Roger and Mike, my clients, of the situation, offering them the option to use Fish Bucket, a smaller boat. They agreed, and after rearranging some equipment, we were on the water. This was their second Lake Champlain trip, with another planned for June. We quickly found the fish and had numerous lakers caught and released today.

The Missy Jean has embarked on Season 2024. A successful shakedown took place, and all systems are operational. Bob Kerr and his son Bradey joined me for a pleasant afternoon on the water, during which Bob caught a stunning Brown trout.

Introducing the New "Vermont Outdoors" Mobile App

We are excited to share the news about our new Vermont Outdoors mobile app, now available for iPhones in the Apple App Store and
for Android phones on Google Play. The app encourages you to find new places to hunt, fish, trap and view wildlife. Users can find fishing access areas and wildlife management areas, report fish and wildlife violations, review hunting and fishing regulations, and stay up-to-date on COVID-19 guidance.

This project was paid for with federal funds from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) stimulus to enhance outdoor recreational opportunities. Other CARES funded projects completed by the department included improvements to boat ramps and other water access points, wildlife management area roads, parking areas and informational signage.

We hope this app will enhance your outdoor experience and allow you to continue to enjoy the outdoors is a safe and socially distanced manner.

We went to the VT Fish And Wildlife free fishing day festival today at Knight Point State Park.
This was a great event with a huge turn out.
It was Olivia’s introduction to fishing on the ice. The fishing was slow but the laughs and smiles were plentiful.
One of the highlights of the day was my two girls making it on the channel 22 news.
Thanks Bill and Aidan for joining us..
