Those are probably your best bet. I head up to the Northwest Terr every ice-out for trophy northerns, and there's nothing better. That video from Dad F brings back memories. Can't tell you how many times we've caught fish in the 12-18lb class where a 25lb+ wil come up and crush them. About 30% of all the fish we catch up there are scared from larger fish. Champlain is a big body of water, so you'll want to do your research before heading up. I hope you have a boat, since boat rentals are few and far between on the lake. Insurance is too high for the marina's and Gander Mnt in Platts just discontinued their boat rentals. That only lasted three years. My best Musky on both Champ and 1000 Islands has been 15 and 17lbs. Both during bass tourney's. Both on chart/white spinnerbaits. I love both pike and musky in the spring. We'll throw 9" Fin S Jerk Baits, buzz baits, big plugs, spinnerbaits, as well as on the fly. Gotta love watching the water start to wake behind the bait, then comes the turn...
I've got some great video if I can figure out how to load and get the time.
Good luck.
