Weather might be a player today

There is much on the line for the Top 12 fishing today on Lake Champlain. A berth in the 2017 GEICO Bassmaster Classic presented by GoPro. Potentially five invitations to next season’s Bassmaster Elite Series. 

The weather might be a player, just like the anglers hoping to dial into the winning catch or add weight to their point totals. 

The forecast calls for a 90 percent chance of rain through midday. The first of two rain systems has passed, with the second on the way. Winds are forecast out of the north at 10 mph. On the open water of Lake Champlain that has more of an impact than many smaller lakes.
