Incredibly,
there’s more to fishing in the Lake Champlain region than the big
lake itself. Several rivers – notably the Boquet and La Chute –
run into Lake Champlain and provide quality fishing for trout, bass and
salmon. Eagle Lake in Ticonderoga is known for its brown trout population,
and there are countless smaller brooks and ponds where you can have the
kind of fishing day you been dreaming of. In addition to the state stockings
of fish, the Essex County Fish Hatchery annually stocks waters with yearling
and 2- and 3-year-old trout.
Trout Release Schedules
