stop it stay off the ice
Fished today for last time out. 10" of decent ice but gonna go fast once it warms up again. Saw a couple of trucks on over in Lapans. Nuts
Big patches of open water now off Burlington harbor - why I dusted off the fly rod today.
lake champlain bridge and south a ways is open water. can fish there out of a boat.
no not all i was over there today i didnt catch much though the water is very low . had one run on a salted smelt . i was fishing off the pier on the ny side. if the water warms up a little they will start biting as i saw several decent fish surface early this morning. its wide open all the way to the southern red can and above the northern red can.
still atvs on Missisqoui Bay today
Are bait rules not the same in NY as they are in VT? I didn't think smelt taken off the ice were legal to return.
My understanding is so long as the smelt came from there you can fish with em.
those smelt are salted and bought from norms bait and tackle and legal to use in champlain. he has a tag on them with his name and address. he sells them in differerent sizes in packages of 5 or 6. now im talking new york . dont know about vermonts bait law.
