PLATTSBURGH, NY __ The Rotary Club of Plattsburgh will host the 41st annual Rotary International Fishing Classic on beautiful Lake Champlain Friday - Sunday, June 4 - 6, 2027. This is the oldest fishing event on the lake, the earliest each year, and features all cash individual and team prizes.
The annual Rotary International Fishing Classic is a fundraising event for the Rotary club and attracts anglers from all over the Northeastern United States and Canada to the shores of Lake Champlain for three days of nonstop competition fishing for the largest fish among salmon, steelhead, brown trout, lake trout, and walleye!
Cash prize amounts are determined by the pool of registration fees – 50 percent goes to the first through fifth place winners and the remaining funds raised support charitable community efforts of the Rotary Club of Plattsburgh.
The individual adult registration fee is $50.00, with prizes for fish in three categories: lake trout, walleye and landlocked salmon (including brown trout and steelhead). Adults and youth all compete in the open division. Prizes are based on weight as well as time weighed in.
The team competition is $50.00 for a team of two-to-four anglers. All team members still pay their individual registration fee. Each team will enter fish from two different categories to be eligible to win.
