Whitefish in Champlain?

[barrebobber]

Was wondering about these fish, if we have them, if you catch them? I did a little research and they're not the same as a cisco, close but not the same. Thanks guys

I caught one ice fishing off Isle LaMotte many years ago. I was targeting perch and out in the deeper water, like maybe 40FOW? As I recall it hit either when I was dropping down or pulling up, it was not on/near the bottom. I was using the old reliable set up of 8# test, #6 hooks and live minnows on a hand line.

Yes we have a lot of Whitefish in Lake Champlain just nobody really targets them there use to be a comercal net fishery for them and it was a big fishery We caught one this summer fish for Laker's on the surface in the spring it was 7 1/2 lbs I have also caught them off of Red Rocks before

interesting. Well I thank you all, still looking for anything. I guess they are just as popular as perch on lake Michigan. wonder if there woujld be a market here for them if we could find them over the next couple years, they say they w=are very tasty.

They are in Champlain and can be caught occasionally.
