(Jul 27, 2026) The missing piece of a cannon that exploded during an early battle of the Revolutionary War was brought out of Lake Champlain last week; a new lawsuit is challenging New York's Medical Aid in Dying law; and we have a conversation with our station manager Mitch Teich about how NCPR is faring amid the end of federal funding for public media.

(Jul 27, 2026) The missing piece of a cannon that exploded during an early battle of the Revolutionary War was recovered from the bottom of Lake Champlain last week. For local historians and divers, the moment was almost three decades in the making. Also: The beleaguered health network that runs the Ogdensburg and Carthage hospitals may, or may not, be affiliating with a larger network based in Rochester.

In 1935, a diver searching Lake Champlain found something extraordinary: a nearly intact warship from the American Revolution. It was the Gunboat Philadelphia. In this episode, we dive into the story of how a ragtag American army built a fleet of ships to stand up against the British Navy in 1776 ... and lost. But that loss changed the course of U.S. history. So, how did Benedict Arnold and a bunch of sailors who had never been on a boat before turn the tide in the Revolutionary War? Listen, and find out! Guests: Jennifer Jones, Curator and Project Director for the Gunboat Philadelphia Preservation Project at the Smithsonian National Museum of American HistoryKenneth Cohen, Chair of the Curatorial Division of Military and Society, and Curator of Early American History at the Smithsonian National Museum of American HistoryThis episode received support from Smithsonian's Our Shared Future: 250, a Smithsonian-wide initiative commemorating the nation's 250th.

Today, we travel through Vermont in search of a family curse, a legendary lake creature, the ghost stories surrounding a terrible railroad disaster, and a group of mineral springs that seemed to resist every attempt to turn them into a business. Some parts of these stories are supported by historical records. Others belong entirely to folklore. Together, they reveal how real people, places, and tragedies can become legends passed down for generations. Long before Vermont had its present name or boundaries, Indigenous people lived throughout the region. Archaeological evidence shows that people were living in the Champlain Valley thousands of years ago. Over time, small seasonal camps developed into more permanent communities along the lakes and rivers. The Western Abenaki were among the Native peoples whose homeland included what is now Vermont. Lake Champlain provided food, transportation, and spiritual meaning, while rivers such as the Winooski and Missisquoi connected communities throughout the region. In 1609, Samuel de Champlain became the first European known to have set foot in what would become Vermont. Contrary to a frequently repeated claim, there is no reliable evidence that Jacques Cartier visited Vermont in 1535. The French built Fort Sainte Anne on Isle La Motte in 1666, creating Vermont's first European settlement. France eventually lost control of the region to Great Britain in 1763. Vermont then declared itself an independent republic in 1777 before joining the United States on March 4, 1791, as the fourteenth state. That long and complicated history created the perfect setting for stories in which fact and folklore are rarely far apart...

Last year, a listener question inspired us to spend 12 whole hours at a park-and-ride lot in Richmond. This year, we posted up at another Vermont mainstay – a popular ice cream shop near the beaches of Lake Champlain, in Colchester. The Village Scoop is the kind of place where, if you stay put long enough, you can watch a whole Vermont summer unfold in one day. So, we arrived hours before the shop opened and stayed long after the last customer was served.During our marathon day there,  we got a real taste of Vermont summer at its peak, in all its sweltering, melting glory.Click here for the web version of this episode, including photos and a full transcript.This episode was reported and produced by Josh Crane, Sabine Poux and Burgess Brown.

For years, Ron Winter has been one of the most trusted field testers behind Fish Hawk Electronics products. While he's best known for chasing landlocked salmon on Lake Champlain and king salmon on Lake Ontario, what really sets Ron apart is his meticulous approach to fishing. Every trip is built around data, observation, and constant learning. In Episode 289 of the Great Lakes Fishing Podcast, Ron joins host Chris Larsen to discuss his experience testing the new Fish Hawk TD Connect, why detailed temperature profiles can completely change the way you fish, and how understanding the thermocline helps anglers consistently put more fish in the boat. Ron also shares his philosophy on keeping fishing records, measuring diver running depths, identifying productive water, and learning from charter captains without ever getting in their way. Whether you're a weekend angler or someone who fishes tournaments, this episode is packed with practical advice you can apply on your very next trip. Plus, Ron talks about building one of the most respected YouTube channels in the Great Lakes fishing community, his favorite salmon tactics, and the simple lessons he's learned after decades on the water. In this episode: Why Ron Winter became one of Fish Hawk's most trusted product testers First impressions of the Fish Hawk TD Connect How to use temperature profiles to locate productive water Measuring diver running depths and long-line presentations Understanding the thermocline on Lake Ontario and Lake Champlain Why successful anglers keep detailed fishing logs How recreational anglers can learn from charter captains Ron's favorite salmon tactics, lures, and gear Rapid-fire fishing questions, bucket-list destinations, and more Whether you troll Lake Ontario, fish the Finger Lakes, chase landlocked salmon on Lake Champlain, or simply want to become a more efficient angler, this conversation with Ron Winter is full of insights that will help you fish smarter, not harder.

(Jul 14, 2026) Gov. Kathy Hochul has ordered a moratorium of up to one year on large data centers in New York; scientists on a research vessel on Lake Champlain are studying the algal blooms that appear each summer; and we get a preview of the largest pan-African music festival in North America. 

(Jul 14, 2026) Algae blooms have become a growing problem on Lake Champlain, closing beach areas and disturbing fish and wildlife. We join a group of researchers on a boat gathering data to try to find a solution. Also: Gov. Hochul has ordered a one-year moratorium on large data centers in New York, the first statewide temporary ban in the country.

For a brief moment in the 1990s, Lake Champlain was known as the sixth Great Lake. The lake wedged between Vermont and New York doesn't quite measure up to the five Great Lakes. So how did this happen? Curious City partners with the Points North podcast from Interlochen Public Radio to bring you the story.

(Jun 18, 2026) Two Democrats are running in the primary for New York's 24th Congressional District, covering the Thousand Islands and Watertown; scientists hope a new research boat in Lake Champlain will help answer questions about the lake and larger bodies of water; and we have a conversation about two car shows set for this weekend in Saranac Lake. 

No other American colony projected such extensive power with so few people. We recount how the French explored the vast northern region they called “Canada” for decades in pursuit of furs and the Northwest Passage, but repeatedly failed to plant a lasting colony in the harsh and forbidding land—until they found in Samuel de Champlain a leader with the shrewdness and grit to overcome the severe cold, the vast distances, and the treacherous politics of the Saint Lawrence basin. We trace the growth of Quebec from little more than a warehouse in the frozen wildnerness to a thriving town, controlling the most critical gateway into the continent and serving as the hub of a lucrative trading network, a vast constellation of mission towns and outposts (including the Christianizing experiment known as Montreal), and most importantly, a formidable indigenous alliance system that dominated the continenet from the Atlantic to Lake Superior. Finally, we consider the disasters of the mid-1600s, including deadly epidemics and warfare with the Five Nations, that brought Canada's most important allies to their knees and threatened to wipe the colony off the map.

Cryptid folklore meets modern surveillance this week on Thursday Thrills. We dive into Champ, America's answer to the Loch Ness Monster, and explore the eerie lake-monster legends that refuse to fade—especially after alleged new footage surfaced on Lake Champlain. From high-tech underwater searches to centuries-old hidden-creature encounters, we ask: what makes these stories persist, and what happens when folklore gets caught on camera?Join us as we look at the darkness beneath the surface.

Beneath the calm waters of Lake Champlain lurks one of America's oldest and most enduring cryptids. For centuries, Indigenous tribes warned of a great serpent in the depths. Sailors, sheriffs, and even entire boatloads of witnesses claimed to see it. Then, in 1977, a Vermont family captured the most famous lake monster photograph ever taken. Tonight, we dive into the legends, the science, and the mystery of Champ...the creature that may still be swimming beneath the surface.

On the shores of Vermont's Lake Champlain in the summer of 1968, two camp counselors watched a glowing craft descend over the dark water before losing hours of time they could never explain. What followed were terrifying dreams, recovered memories, hypnosis sessions, and claims of telepathic contact that would haunt them for decades. Known today as the Buff Ledge abduction case, the encounter became one of New England's most chilling and heavily investigated UFO cases.

Vermont is home to all sorts of bizarre cryptids, and most famously to Champ, the Lake Champlain monster. But like its New England sister states, it has its fair share of Bigfoot sightings as well. So this week I'm looking at Chittenden and Lamoille counties in northern Vermont. Stories include: a family driving at night near Colchester spotting a white Sasquatch in the snow; a retired nurse in Eden sees a Bigfoot walking on her property one sunny morning; a family staying at their remote cabin in the woods of Morrisville hear terrifying scream - and then an even more frightening creature; and a man and his family in the woods looking for a Christmas Tree find large, fresh footprints in the snow - but no person was around to make them.

(Mar 31, 2026) Republican Anthony Constantino is under scrutiny for how he's collecting petition signatures to get on the ballot for the 21st Congressional District race; we take a ride on the beautiful Amtrak Adirondack train that skirts right along Lake Champlain; and Ethan Shantie joins us for a preview of NCPR's poetry month contest in April. 

On this episode of The Object of History, we begin a three-part narrative about the geography, characters, and events that shaped the first years of the American Revolution. Part one starts in May of 1775 at Fort Ticonderoga, New York, on the banks of Lake Champlain.  We are joined by Fort Ticonderoga's Curator Dr. Matthew Keagle to discuss the capture of the fort, the colonists' dire need for artillery to break the siege at Boston, and how the Canadian campaign developed in the summer and fall of that year. We also speak with Samantha Couture, Nora Saltonstall Conservator & Preservation Librarian at the MHS, to talk about the diary of Henry Knox. Learn more about episode objects here: https://www.masshist.org/podcast/season-5-episode-3-knox-diary  Email us at podcast@masshist.org.

What happens beneath the surface of an aquatic system is a world most people never see—but today's guest is bringing that hidden world to life through science and underwater storytelling. This week, Conrad had the pleasure of speaking with PhD candidate and underwater videographer Graham Montague from the University of Vermont in a fascinating conversation that explored both his research and creative work beneath the surface. The discussion dove into the intersection of science communication and underwater videography, highlighting how visual storytelling can help audiences connect more deeply with aquatic ecosystems and the life they support. He also shared insights into his current research as a PhD candidate at the University of Vermont, where he studies landlocked Atlantic salmon in Lake Champlain; the perspectives he has gained throughout his career; and the unique challenges and rewards of filming underwater. Blending passion, science, and artistry, this episode offers a compelling look at how creative media can inspire curiosity, understanding, and conservation of aquatic life.

Episode OverviewDrew Price of Master Class Angling returns to The Articulate Fly fly fishing podcast to deliver a season debrief from Lake Champlain and discuss the release of his debut book, Favorite Flies for Vermont: 50 Essential Patterns from Local Experts (Stackpole Books). For anglers curious about multi-species fly fishing in the Northeast or the fly patterns that actually produce on Vermont's diverse waters, this episode covers both with depth and specificity.The 2025 season on Champlain was defined by record-low water levels — a rarity that revealed structure Drew had never seen and produced drone footage that will inform future guiding. Bowfin fishing was among the best he's seen in years, and November lake trout fishing exceeded expectations, reflecting growing demand for Laker guide trips. Drew brings that same multi-species perspective to the book, which covers 53 patterns ranging from pragmatic brook trout dries and blue-line streamer patterns to bowfin, gar and bass flies — including Drew's own glow-in-the-dark Clouser Minnow variation for lake trout and Chocklett-influenced bowfin patterns he's adapted for Champlain conditions. The conversation also covers the production process in candid detail: Drew's self-directed macro fly photography, his phone-interview approach to wrangling 50-plus tiers across Vermont and the editorial relationship with Jay Nichols at Stackpole. The historical dimension is a highlight — patterns like the Governor Aiken Bucktail, the Spirit of Pittsford Mills and a tribute to the late Rhey Plumley place Vermont's fly fishing culture in a lineage that goes back to Mary Orvis Marbury's early commercial tying work in Manchester.Key TakeawaysHow a record-low water year on Lake Champlain exposed bottom structure and shifted Drew's understanding of fish-holding spots in ways that will pay off for seasons to come.Why Vermont fly tiers skew pragmatic — tying quickly and in volume over aesthetics — and why beat-up flies often outfish perfect ones.How to properly attribute pattern variations to their originators, and why that intellectual honesty matters for the sport's tying culture.When to expect outstanding lake trout fishing on Lake Champlain, with November emerging as a peak window for fly rod Lakers.Why Lake Champlain's combination of world-class bass fishing, exceptional bowfin populations (including multiple IGFA tippet-class records) and 88 resident species makes it an underappreciated destination for fly anglers.How Tom Rosenbauer's CDC Rabbit's Foot Emerger became a standout pattern in the book, and what the story behind its development reveals about matching emerger behavior in the surface film.Techniques & Gear CoveredThe episode touches on a range of techniques tied to Champlain's multi-species fishery rather than a single tactical deep dive. Sight fishing in the shallows — push-pole work targeting bowfin, gar and carp — is central to Drew's guiding approach, and several flies in the book were designed specifically for those conditions. For lake trout, Drew discusses his glow-in-the-dark Clouser Minnow variation, a deep-November pattern that he describes as producing an unmistakable visual trigger as the fly returns to the boat in the dark. Variations on Blane Chocklett's patterns adapted for bowfin fishing also feature in the book, illustrating how Game Changer-platform thinking has crossed over into the warm-water exotic-species world. The book's fly photography (all shot by Drew himself using a macro setup he developed during the writing process) includes both hyper-realistic imitative patterns — like Thomas Ames's emerging caddis, designed to capture a specific stage of insect emergence — and intentionally rough, high-production guide flies built for Vermont's blue-line brook trout water. The trolling application of the Governor Aiken Bucktail for landlocked salmon rounds out the technique coverage, reflecting the lake's migratory salmonid fishery that intensifies in fall.Locations & SpeciesThe episode centers on Lake Champlain and the broader Vermont fly fishing ecosystem, with the lake positioned as a legitimate destination fishery for bass, bowfin, lake trout, pike, gar, carp and landlocked salmon — as well as brown trout and brook trout in the tributary streams. Drew notes that Champlain has ranked among the top five bass lakes in the country according to Bassmaster for three decades, and that it holds records across IGFA tippet classes for bowfin. The book also addresses Vermont's blue-line brook trout fishery, acknowledging the state's honest limitations as a trout destination (no super-consistent hatches, less predictable than Pennsylvania or Colorado tailwaters) while pointing readers to the wild brook trout corridors that define summer fly fishing in Vermont. Historically notable waters referenced include Furnace Brook in Pittsford — President Eisenhower's favorite trout stream — and the Northeast Kingdom, the setting for an archival photo tied to the Governor Aiken Bucktail chapter. November is flagged as a particularly productive window for lake trout on fly, with record-low 2025 water conditions adding context for why structure knowledge carries outsized importance on Champlain.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredWhat made the 2025 fishing season on Lake Champlain unusual?The lake hit near-record low water levels in 2025, a sharp contrast to the high-water years immediately prior. The low water exposed bottom structure Drew had never seen, allowing him to understand exactly why fish hold in certain locations. Drone footage from the season is now part of his ongoing location research.What types of flies are featured in Favorite Flies for Vermont?The book covers 53 patterns, with roughly 40 trout flies and the remainder targeting warm-water and exotic species including bowfin, gar and bass. Patterns range from simple Tenkara-style CDC dries to hyper-realistic emerger caddis imitations from Thomas Ames. Several historically significant Vermont patterns are included, such as the Governor Aiken Bucktail and the Spirit of Pittsford Mills dry fly, with full attribution and historical context for each.How does Drew Price approach pattern attribution in his book?Drew is deliberate about crediting the originators of any pattern he's adapted, even when his modifications are significant. Variations on Blane Chocklett's warm-water patterns and a riff on Bob Clouser's minnow design for lake trout are both attributed explicitly in the text. He extends the same standard to historical patterns, tracing variations back through the tying lineage rather than presenting adaptations as entirely original work.When is the best time to fish for lake trout on Lake Champlain with a fly?November stands out as the peak window, based on Drew's guide experience. The season saw strong late-year Laker fishing and a notable uptick in guided Laker trip requests, which Drew describes as a welcome surprise. A glow-in-the-dark Clouser Minnow variation is his go-to pattern for night-time and low-light Laker sessions on the lake.Why does Drew Price consider Lake Champlain an underrated fly fishing destination?Champlain holds 88 species, roughly 30 of which are realistic fly rod targets — Drew has personally caught 15 different species in a single day on fly. The lake consistently ranks among the top five bass lakes in the U.S. and has produced IGFA tippet-class records for bowfin across nearly all classes. Despite those credentials, it remains well below the radar of most traveling fly anglers, which Drew is actively trying to change through the book and continued guiding.SponsorsThanks to TroutRoutes for sponsoring this episode.

During the summer of 1609, Samuel de Champlain attempted to form better relations and alliances with the local First Nations tribes including Wendat-Hurons, Algonquins, and Montagnais who lived in the area of the St. Lawrence River. These tribes sought Champlain's help in their war against the Haudenosaunee, also known as the Iroquois Confederacy, League or Five Nations. The founder of New France set off with his men to explore the Rivière des Iroquois—now known as the Richelieu River—and became the first known European to lay eyes on and map one of the continent’s majestic bodies of water, named Lake Champlain in his honor.
