Fishing near South Burlington, VT


Set on the eastern shore of Lake Champlain in Chittenden County, South Burlington sits beside a 120-mile inland sea that holds roughly 81 documented fish species. The lake is world-class for smallmouth bass, lake trout, and landlocked Atlantic salmon, while Shelburne Bay just south draws largemouth anglers and Malletts Bay to the north is a top pike haunt. The nearby Winooski River and its famous Salmon Hole round out one of Vermont's deepest fisheries.
