i don't know about lake Champlain, but i think if you kept it closer i would be interested. somewhere like like east twin, west hill, mansfield hollow or even somewhere near you like candlewood. to those places are as good as champlain. I've been their four times and had no real good luck. i can stay in CT and catch all the small perch, with out the four or five hour drive. I'll still be able to sleep in my own beg every night. but if you want to put something like that together you can count me in.
