Welcome Anglers ........ For the best Lake Champlain experience Captain Mickey Maynard suggests targeting particular fish during their most productive seasons. This charter service aims to put its clients on the largest and greatest numbers of Lake Champlain's predator species. That's why it's wise to fish coldwater species like trout and salmon in the spring and late fall when the biggest and most abundant numbers can be boated. The Captain recommends targeting large pike during late summer and early fall because groups of anglers often catch 40 - 50 fish per day! Trust the Captain to be honest, to teach you the most productive techniques and applications, and to lead you to the best fishing the lake has to offer. He's been on the water for over 40 years. You should book early though; prime 2011 dates are booking up now! ......... Captain Mickey Maynard and LakeChamplainAngler.com .......... A voice for the fisherman. ..........
