[#000000]On Champlain, ice-fishing is allowed for several species including trout, salmon, pike, walleyes, and perch. For a moderate fee, you can rent a fishing shanty for the day. You get driven by truck out onto the ice, dropped off at a shack in the middle of a shanty-town, and supplied with all the bait and equipment you need. [/#804000]
Other local lakes open to ice-fishing beginning the third Saturday in January include Bomoseen, Lake Dunmore, and the Chittenden Reservoir.
