The Lake Trout fishing continues to be outstanding we had a 6 hour trip Saturday afternoon fished a couple hours for Salmon with out much luck the night before in the same spot we fished 2 hours and landed 5 nice Salmon but they where not biting on this trip switched over for Lake Trout and the action was none stop with doubles on most of the time we landed 20 Lake Trout all in the 4 to 8 lb range and 1- 7 lb Lake Whitefish that qualifies for the Vermont Master Angler program.The fish are still near the surface so long lines on planer boards and down riggers set shallow seem to be the ticket with 4 to 6 inch lures in various colors The fishing is great so give me a call to plan you're trip I still have plenty of openings for May,June,July,august,and September 1-802-324-2289 Captain Brian
