Guided fishing trips, drift boat trips and fall foliage tours with Captain Matt — the longest fishing season and the most variety on Lake Champlain.
Our vessels are set up to handle any tastes — trips can even be split half trolling and half casting. Captain Matt provides all of the tackle.
For anglers focused on Lake trout and Landlock salmon, with Steelhead and Brown trout possible. Designed for larger groups, with a very active method for less experienced fishers.
Bass and pike first — though walleye, pickerel, bowfin and gar can all be caught on any given day. Spin casting and fly casting, depending on experience.
July and August are phenomenal months — our biggest lakers of the season and our highest catch rates, in the Broad Lake near Burlington and Shelburne.

There were four of us, and we all had an amazing experience with Captain Matt. We caught plenty of nice fish including a monster Northern on the very last cast of the trip!

I went out with Captain Matt on October 9, 2019 in hopes of catching my first ever small mouth bass and Northern Pike. Well, Captain Matt did not disappoint me, I caught both species.

Captain Matt is both professional and personable. We enjoyed a beautiful fall day on Lake Bomoseen.
