Officials warn of pollution as floodwaters reach Lake Champlain - VTDigger Noting that phosphorus is a key contributor to toxic cyanobacteria blooms, the Lake Champlain Basin Program director said, “We are definitely at risk of increased blooms for the next several weeks, if not the rest of the summer.”
Outstanding guide service. The captain/owner is professional, safe, friendly, and knows how to help people land fish consistently.
Perfect for first-timers and amateurs, they have everything needed so you don’t have to buy expensive rods or use sub-standard gear. No need to guess where the fish might be or what lures to use, being on the lake every day they know exactly where the big ones are and what baits they’re striking.
Excellent deal for seasoned anglers and experts too. Sometimes it’s nice to let someone else deal with the boat and associated tasks so you can get right to catching. Even professional competitors can benefit from spending a day with Reel Vermont.
Yes, I did personally charter their service and everything was A+ from start to finish. We caught plenty of gamefish and had a super time.

Franklin County’s unique farms: Meet the Ferlands and their Hathaway Point flock ST. ALBANS TOWN — Twice a day, on an otherwise quiet stretch of Hathaway Point in St. Albans, ten sheep go parading down the street.
St. Albans Bay this evening
Hathaway Point was established in 1838 when Hiram Hathaway and his family came to farm, fish, and raise 8 children. Civil war soldiers trained on the shores and fields in the 1860s. In the 1880s Hiram Jr operated “Hathaway’s Picnic Point” and catered to campers. Descendants continue to reside on and enjoy the Point today.
The Point is more than a place, and far more than one family. Many wonderful people reside, camp, and visit.. some for several generations. Lasting memories and relationships abound in this close community.
We are celebrating 180 years of life on the Point on Saturday June 30, 2018. (watch for details)
