RECIPROCAL FISHING GOES INTO EFFECT ON LAKE CHAMPLAIN

WATERBURY, VT - The New Year marks a long-awaited change for anglers who

fish on Lake Champlain and hold either a Vermont or New York fishing

license. Beginning January 1, anglers who hold a fishing license from

either state will be able to fish in most of the big lake.

A person holding a New York fishing license may take fish from the Vermont

portion of Lake Champlain as far east as a line starting on the north shore

of the Poultney River where it empties into East Bay, proceeding generally

northerly along the shore to the old Rutland Railroad fill on Colchester

Point, then following the western side of the old Rutland Railroad fill to

Allen Point on Grand Isle, continuing northerly following the western shore

of Grand Isle to Tromp Point, then across The Gut to Bow and Arrow Point,

then continuing generally northerly along the western shore of North Hero

to Pelots Point, then across the Alburg passage to the Point of the Tongue,

and then along the western shore of the Alburg peninsula to the United

States Border with Canada. When this line crosses a tributary to Lake

Champlain, the line shall proceed from the downstream most point of land on

one side of the tributary to the downstream most point of land on the other

side of the tributary.

An angler with a Vermont fishing license may fish Lake Champlain west of the

Vermont/New York border to the New York shore, but may not fish in South Bay

or New York tributaries to Lake Champlain.

Some fishing season dates, length limits and daily creel limits are

different in New York and Vermont. When fishing in Vermont, anglers must

observe Vermont laws. When fishing in New York, anglers must follow the

laws that apply in New York. Be sure to obtain copies of state's fishing

regulations if you are going to fish Lake Champlain.

With a surface area of over 435 square miles and a length of over 100 miles,

Lake Champlain offers a tremendous amount of high quality fishing for

Vermonters, New Yorkers and visitors to the region. In fact, the May issue

of Field & Stream Magazine recently named Lake Champlain one of "America's

Top 25 Hottest Fishing Spots."

The law establishing Lake Champlain fishing reciprocity with New York

requires an annual report to the Vermont legislature on any losses of

Vermont fishing license revenue and any increases in Vermont sales of

lodging, food, equipment, and other items to holders of New York fishing

licenses.
