Winter brings a variety of activities to the North Country, but for many of us, it means one thing: Ice Fishing!
Panfish like these yellow perch and bluegill, make great table fare. The popularity of fishing for these scrappy, smaller fish is growing each year with tournaments and national teams heading to Lake Champlain for some of the best ice fishing in the east. 
Although the walleye population is not what it once was, restoration projects by groups like the Lake Champlain Walleye Association are helping this great game fish make a comeback in Lake Champlain. It's a thrill to see those "eyes" coming to the hole and a great treat to enjoy catching these wily fish. 
Considered a "trash fish" for many years, the northern pike is easily the most sought after species using tip ups in the northern tier of Lake Champlain. Knowing how to dress these fine fish and eliminate the Y bones, makes for some of the finest eating fish in all the lake. If you want to give it a try, contact Bruce at Holiday Harbor for more info.
These guys know what it's all about: a fine day of ice fishing with family and friends and a chance to land a good pike or two in the bargain. It's all here at Holiday Harbor. Why not give it a try?

Great shots! Looks like the winter fishing is hot enough!
Very much enjoyed the Walleye picture, at first glance I thought it was a Cusk now I stand corrected!
