Fishing maps for Lake Champlain's surveyed main lake, South Lake, Inland Sea and Missisquoi Bay.
Built for useful map scale
The deep main lake, narrow southern arm and productive northern bays behave as different fishing waters.
One page per mapped area
10,367-acre section. The shallow, fertile northeast bay at Swanton: big pike in the weeds, a real walleye run up the Missisquoi and panfish everywhere.
37,736-acre section. East of the Hero islands: protected water, rock reefs and grass bays out of St. Albans and Malletts Bay. Vermont's favorite ice sheet.
18,195-acre section. Crown Point to Whitehall: a narrow, riverine arm full of grass beds, creek mouths and largemouth. Home water of championship bass fishing.
271,000-acre lake near Burlington — 120-mile border lake; a top-5 US bass fishery with pike, walleye and lake trout.
Choose with the evidence visible
The released set contains 4 survey-backed sections and 0 modeled sections. Their published maximum depths run from 14 to 392 ft, with a median of 143 ft. Those numbers make scale differences visible, but they do not make sections interchangeable: contour provenance, access, species evidence and local structure remain specific to each child map.
Start with the section closest to the water you actually plan to fish. Then compare its depth-data label and species roster with an adjacent section before treating a pattern as system-wide. A survey-backed child is the stronger choice for precise breakline planning; a modeled child is broader reconnaissance and should be checked against sonar and conditions on the water. Return to this overview whenever you cross into another mapped reach, pool or coastal section.

4 released maps use surveyed or official agency bathymetry. Each child keeps its own provider, product, datum and not-for-navigation disclosure.
No. Species, forage, access and fishing spots remain scoped to each child map and retain their evidence labels.
