LCI Testimonials

"I fish the LCI Derby every year. It allows me quality time with my wife and children while getting to do what I love best, enjoy the great outdoors. I traveled all the way from Afghanistan this year to be a part of the long weekend, and the 7000-mile trip was well worth it!"
-- Ron Lacoste, LCI Angler

"Last year was my first derby. I have fished on lakes before but not in your derby. We both love to fish and this past experience with the Derby was just great."
-- Harold Sheldon, LCI Angler

"Thank you for your time and the effort that your staff has put in to create a tournament for everyone. I fish these derbies because I love to fish, and what better than to have a chance at getting paid to do what you love to do."
-- James Meacham & family, LCI Anglers

"My name is Ron Wood, and I have been fishing the LCI derby for the last three years. This year I was fortunate enough to place second in the warm water team division and 9th place in the Extraordinary category."
-- Ron Wood, LCI Angler

"Let me first start off by saying I love Vermont and all its natural beauty. Vermonters are also very lucky to have Lake Champlain. It is one of the most beautiful lakes I've ever fished. "
-- William and Catherine Boucher, LCI Anglers

"Lake Champlain is a unique fishery that reels my family in year after year. I always come to the LCI Derbies for the opportunity to compete for prizes but that's just a bonus because the lake and the whole area are very inviting on their own."
-- Adrien Lavoie, LCI Angler

"It's a privilege to fish the LCI Derby. Lake Champlain has some of the best fishing in the northeast in a beautiful setting. It's great to see all the families out fishing having a great time."
-- Randy Gagne, LCI Angler

"Like I always say, you can keep Christmas, I'll take Derby weekend!"
-- Keith Darby, LCI Angler

Fishing has its intrinsic values; writers ruminate and poets ponder those values, yet every angler knows them. Economic studies make it clear that fishing is valuable in a very real and measurable way. From my perspective, I am glad to stand in league with anglers that drive this economic engine; healthy habitats and healthy fish lead to healthy people and healthy economies.
