In the summer, blooms of toxic algae have forced the state of Vermont to warn people to stay out of parts of northern Lake Champlain but today Governor Douglas will host Lake Champlain fishing derby . The second annual Lake Champlain International Governor’s Cup fishing derby proceeds will go to the Lake Champlain Fisheries Recovery Initiative and the Lake Champlain Next Generation Fund.
But the important question on most Vermonter’s minds must be;Who baits the Governor’s hook this year ? A year ago it was Fish & Wildlife Commissioner Wayne Laroche who was given the task. Will the Governor dare to yield to pressure and bait his own hook ?
