The cool thing about Champlain is you will see and catch fish that you have never seen before such as Sheepshead, fresh water drum, bowfin, and gar. They also have channel catfish that can get pretty big. If you want to fish for pike, you can catch as many as you want if you are in the right areas. Bass fishing is outstanding.

I go up at least once a year, used to go up much more often.
I am a Smallmouth fan first, but miss Minnesota style multi-species fishing particularly the option to catch something big & nasty like Pike. Seems like the north half is more smallmouth oriented.
So you say bigger Salmon but fewer than Winni? Wasnt expecting that.
