Setting a FLW Fantasy Fishing Lineup for Lake Champlain

Lake Champlain is an awesome fishery and a favorite for the anglers whenever a tour stops here, abundant big smallies and largemouth available, but as of late, largemouths have been winning most of the summer events of late, so think Green for you winners, although some solid finishes will likely come from Brown fish as well.

Fishery Details:
Type of water: natural lake – 6th largest in US behind the great lakes
Surface area: 271,000 acres
Shoreline: 587 miles
Average depth: 64 feet
Max depth: approximately 400 feet
Primary structure/cover: rocks, grass, flats, drops, docks
Species: largemouth, smallmouth
Length minimum: 12 inches for all species

Should be lots of patterns, frogs and flipping milfoil to deep rock reefs for smallies.

Here are my other anglers to watch:
Dion Hibdon
Jim Moynagh
Dave Lefebre

Basically I am sticking with the strategy to keep littering my lineup with anglers that are hot right now and have past experience and lots of wins & top 10’s this week. Plus a little more local flare with Pete Gluszek this time around.

Finally, my FLW fantasy fishing picks:
