Lake Champlain Ice Fishing Report: Pike, Trout, and Perch Bites Steady for Winter Anglers
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Lake Champlain fishing report for this crisp Monday morning, January 26th, 2026. It's prime ice fishing season on the big lake, with ice thickening up nice after the recent cold snap—Bonjour Quebec notes the 2025-2026 pêche blanche runs January through mid-March, so huts are popping up everywhere from Plattsburgh to the Canadian side.
Weather's cooperating today: National Weather Service Burlington forecast calls for partly cloudy skies, highs around 25°F, light winds from the north at 5-10 mph, perfect for staying comfy in the shack. Sunrise hit at 7:37 AM, sunset's 4:48 PM per recent Douglas Ston Salmon Run reports—short days mean bundle up and fish the golden hours.
Fish activity's solid under the ice. Locals are pulling northern pike, lake trout, and perch through the holes, with some yellow perch and smallmouth bass mixing in shallower bays. Recent catches mirror Tupper Lake's Northern Challenge vibes—anglers hauling multiple pike per outing, plus bonus browns and steelies in tributaries like the Salmon River feeding Champlain. No massive tournament bags like Kyle Cortiana's old summer win here, but ice reports echo steady action: 3-5 fish limits common, up to 34-inchers on beads or jigs.
Best lures? Go with tip-ups rigged with dead minnows or shiners for pike—chartreuse or blue egg sacks and beads crushing it lately per Douglas Ston. For perch and trout, try small jigs tipped with waxies or spikes; a 1/4-ounce spoon in glow colors mimics the cold-water forage. Live bait rules winter—minnows on a quick-strike rig for big pike.
Hot spots: Baie de Venise in Montérégie for tomcod and perch crowds, or Simon Pond near Tupper Lake for that derby-style pike frenzy. Check ice thickness—aim for 4+ inches safe.
Stay safe out there, measure that ice, and respect the regs.

Icy Lake Champlain Winter Fishing Heats Up: Perch, Pike and Bass Under the Ice
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Lake Champlain fishing report for this frosty Sunday morning, January 25th, 2026. It's a bone-chiller out there—National Weather Service in Burlington reports cold wind chills dipping to -15F to -25F through tomorrow, with a Winter Storm Warning kicking in this afternoon. Expect 8 to 16 inches of snow by Tuesday morning, so bundle up and watch those drifts on the ice. Sunrise was at 7:15 AM, sunset around 4:45 PM—short days mean prime dawn and dusk bites. No tides on this big freshwater beast, but ice coverage is building steady per their satellite imagery, thick enough in most spots for safe huts if you check local thickness.
Fish are active under the ice! Mc Outdoors' New Year's Day video from early January showed solid northern pike and perch hauls on Lake Champlain, and that trend holds—folks are pulling limits of perch up to 12 inches and pike hitting 30-plus inches through tip-ups. Lake Champlain Fishing Report Today on January 18th noted crisp winter action with similar catches, biggest pike in the 8-10 pound range lately. Smaller smallmouth bass are schooling shallow too, per ongoing buzz from local pros.
For lures, go lipless crankbaits like the Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap in 1/2 to 3/4 ounce—Dicky Newberry from Major League Fishing swears by 'em in cold water, ripping 'em over grass with a stiff 7'5" medium-heavy jig rod, 15-pound Seaguar InvizX fluoro, and Gamakatsu round-bend trebles for reaction strikes. Size 'em different front to back for better grass pop-free. Live bait? Big fathead minnows or shiners on tip-ups for pike and perch—can't beat 'em this time of year.
Hot spots: Missisquoi Bay's got reliable perch and pike in 8-12 feet, and the Inland Sea near St. Albans Point is firing for bigger northerns—drill near weed edges, stay safe.

Lake Champlain Fishing Report: Minnow Rigs, Ned Rigs, and Glide Baits Dominating the Bite
# Lake Champlain Fishing Report
Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure with your Friday morning update from Lake Champlain, and we've got some solid intel to share.
Water conditions are looking decent right now. We're in that winter window where ice fishing has been heating up for perch, walleye, and pike across the lake, so bundle up if you're heading out on the ice.
For open water anglers still working the system, smallmouth and largemouth have both been incredibly active. Recent tournament results show these fish are gorging themselves on baitfish. We're talking alewife and perch—these are your key forage species right now, and the bass know it.
**What's Working:**
Minnow presentations are absolutely dominating. Elite anglers are crushing it with 4 to 5-inch Yamamoto shads, Deps Sakamata shads, and X Zone Rally Shads on light heads. Ned rigs have been phenomenal for finesse fishing, especially Yamamoto Ned Senkos. If you want to work grass lines and secondary points, throw glide baits and topwater early. Jigs with craw trailers are also producing well for both species.
For largemouth specifically, flipping jigs in the shallows around reed lines—particularly in Ticonderoga—has been lights out. Drop-shotting with small finesse worms works great for suspended smallmouth.
**Hot Spots:**
Malletts Bay has been producing big smallmouth around breaking structure and grass lines. The secondary points in shallower water—around 8 to 12 feet—are holding schooled-up fish that are super aggressive right now.
Get out there and tight lines, folks. Thanks for tuning in and make sure to subscribe.
