Lakers are fun. And they are incredibly easy to catch on Champlain. It’s a bad thing for them honestly. Popularity of fishing them there has skyrocketed, and with it average size has dropped.

The inland lakes are more challenging for catching lakers. Much more rewarding getting a 20lb laker on a small lake than 100 10lb champ fish. It’s incredible seeing a 40 inch trout come out of a pond under 100 acres.
