God lots of ways to attack this....

You mean Saturday...you'll be scouting for good ice..so that on the 3rd Saturday in January you will be set to fish for lakers/salmon?

I am new to the Springfield VT area. Just got a place up here this fall. I don't know the area well and know there are lakers n salmon in the area just was wondering where? I also have scotted out 5 lakes from Windsor to springfield with safe ice. So do you have any info ?

No info, just some advice.  Trout season doesn't the third saturday in January, and if you go onto closed trout waters and are caught, your season will probably end rather quickly.

No fishing for trout salmon or bass until the 3rd Saturday in January. Champlain would be the exception to that. Better check out the regs at the F & G website. www.vtfishandwildlife. com They have a lot of info on what species are in every lake. Stocking lists and such. Rescue and Echo are close to Springfield and are open for trout when the season opens. Not all trout waters are open in the winter consult the list before venturing out.

Thanks for the info on the bass. I knew trout was closed till end of Jan but I pike fished last weekend and caught bass as well. So thanks for the tip. Anybody know good places to fish em

All of the trout waters that open on 1/21 are prime locations. Check the stocking report on VT F&W site
if you want to target salmon as  many of the lakes are not stocked with Salmon. Champlain has
quality and improving LLS fishery as state has been poisoning the lamprey streams.

Welcome to Vermont, keep catching them Pike, save the trout for me!

I like Caspian Lake for the trout, not much for salmon though. It's a tough lake to get around on because it's usually got a couple feet of snow on it. It's in Greensboro Vt. easy to find and good parking lot. Lot's of smaller trout but every year someone gets one that's huge. good luck!
