      I believe it is the 1st Saturday in May. Not 100% sure about
    that on Champlain, but that is the date for a smaller lake in
    VT, so I assume its the same for Champlain. Season is closed
    March 15 to 1st Saturday in May.

    Ron,
    
    	I looked it up in the F&G book and you are right about Walleye
    season opening on the first saturday in May. The minumum length is
    18" and the daily limit is 5.

    Thanks for the responses ! I will be up there this coming weekend,
    hoping to catch my first one for the season. I had good luck last year
    on opening day and hope to go for a repeat.

    Well, no luck on the walleyes but we had plenty of luck with the
    lakers. We caught four lakers over the weekend two were reasonably
    small 19" or so. But I did get 2 that weighed 5.8 and 5.2 lbs., we also
    caught one small (keeper) salmon. Very few walleyes were caught and from
    what I saw were shorter than allowed (18") but still kept.
