Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 15:28 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

New Moon is generally a very productive time for fishing. Dark nights mean that many predators feed more actively during daylight hours. The combined gravity of sun and moon during New Moon days has a stronger effect on all water bodies, leads to increased food availabilty and hence better fishing.
  • Distance to earth:
    363,721 km
    Proximity:
    98.6 %
We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing.

Fishing Overview Rutland

Fishing in Rutland, Vermont revolves around a mix of productive lakes and classic trout water, giving anglers multiple options in every season. Lake Bomoseen and Lake St. Catherine, just west and southwest of Rutland, are the primary multi‑species hubs, while Otter Creek and area tributaries offer river fishing for trout and warmwater species. Smaller waters like Lake Hortonia, Burr Pond, and numerous town ponds round out the local fishing scene.

Seasonal patterns are key around Rutland. In early spring, ice‑out on Lake Bomoseen, St. Catherine, and Hortonia kicks off shallow action for perch, crappie, and cold‑water species like lake trout and landlocked salmon that cruise upper water columns. As water temperatures climb into the 50s, pre‑spawn largemouth and smallmouth bass move onto staging points, shallow flats, and emerging weed edges. Summer finds largemouth buried in thick vegetation, docks, and timber, while smallmouth shift to rocky points and mid‑lake humps. By fall, bass and panfish push shallow again to chase baitfish, and the bite can be fast on moving baits. Winter brings solid ice fishing on Bomoseen, St. Catherine, and smaller ponds, with steady catches of yellow perch, panfish, pickerel, and occasional trout or salmon.

Habitat types around Rutland are diverse. Lake Bomoseen features weedy bays, rocky shorelines, offshore humps, and deep basins that hold lake trout and salmon. Target grasslines, points, and transitions where rock meets weed. Lake St. Catherine has a more intricate shoreline with coves, docks, and mid‑lake structure ideal for largemouth, smallmouth, and panfish. Otter Creek offers slower, meandering stretches with deep holes, undercut banks, and woody cover that hold smallmouth, northern pike, and warmwater species, while cooler tributaries and upland streams support wild and stocked brook, brown, and rainbow trout.

Common techniques depend on the lake and season. For bass in Bomoseen and St. Catherine, anglers rely on soft plastic stickbaits, Texas‑rigged worms, jigs, and weedless swimbaits around weedbeds and docks. Topwater frogs and walking baits can be excellent at dawn and dusk in summer. Smallmouth respond well to tube jigs, ned rigs, and drop‑shot setups along rocky structure. Trolling spoons and small crankbaits or stickbaits at varying depths is productive for lake trout and landlocked salmon on deeper lakes, especially early and late in the season.

Tactical tips for Rutland’s lakes include fishing low‑light periods when boat traffic is high, and focusing on subtle structural changes such as inside turns in weedlines and slight depth breaks. On clearer lakes, downsize line and lures when the sun is high. In Otter Creek, work current seams and deeper bends with jigs, small crankbaits, and suspending jerkbaits for smallmouth and pike, and slow down presentations in cooler water. During ice season, set tip‑ups with live minnows along the first break off shoreline weedbeds for pickerel, bass, and the occasional pike, while using small tungsten jigs tipped with spikes or plastics for perch and panfish. Across the Rutland area, success comes from matching tactics to each waterbody’s structure, clarity, and seasonal mood.
