Hero's Welcome - A Vermont Country Store featuring vermont gifts, vermont-made products, adirondack chairs, the dosacaffee espresso machine, and much more!

Hero's Welcome is an Official sponsor of the Lake Champlain International Bass Fishing Derby (LCI).  Thousands compete from across the USA for big money, boats, fame and prizes. 

We are the ONLY official weigh-station on the islands during the 3-day derby.  So, we meet lots of fishermen, and witness the formidable array of catches they bring in...record weights in Lake Trout, Large and Small Mouth Bass, Landlocked Salmon, Pike, Walleye, Perch and others.

Our Fishing Hot Spots Map is in constant demand.  Waterproof, and full of tips and techniques, rules, regs, guidelines, access, GPS, suppliers...it's packed with very practical information, including topography below the waterline. Tear-resistant.  24" x 36".  Arrives folded, but can be rolled.
