Tips Lake Champlain is the sixth-largest freshwater lake in the United States. Unlike most U.S. lakes, Champlain flows north. Hunters should treat every gun as if it were loaded, keep it pointed in a safe direction, be sure of targets and areas beyond, and always wear blaze orange.
Studies show that wearing orange hunting gear is seven times safer than donning other colors.
If you are desperate, or just want to catch a nice rainbow trout, you ll find the fishing easy in the privately stocked pond at Cold Brook Fish Farm, Cold Brook Road, Vermontville, 891-3585.
