Any Lake Trout fishermen?

[Deacon_P]

Just wondering if anyone is having especially good luck with any certain bait or depth of water -

It all dependes were you fish.

In fish the south shore Of lake Superior. In the spring we get them in 190ft to 230 ft down, we bounce bottom with down riggers riged with spoons, flyes/sucker, and a lure called peanuts. As summer rolleson they start to move in to shallow water, and we get them in around 190-100ft range. In fall they move in to the bays to spawn and they can be caught all over, on bottom at 60ft, 20 feet down, all over the water colum.

There are some reefs in the lake that come up from vary deep water to like 20 ft, in these spots they can be caught on spinning reels and spoons. We have even taken these fish on fly rods.

As far as colors go I like hot green and light blue, and some times do well on glow baits.

Been out 7 times in the last month, here in northern MN inland waters. i fish from 45-110 ft of water, trying to stay around 75 ft.

Have only got out once this winter. Caught a small one in Lake Simcoe from 60' of water on bottom. Caught on a minnow.

Here in colorado, I catch em at the inlet of the resivouirs. They can gte big, but you have to have a boat to get to them that a way. EJ

I fish for them in the spring near the brooks at the New York City reservoir in the Catskills.

I like fishing them in the winter threw the ice around shoals
25 to 45 feet deep with a jig stick and a lead fish with a
piece of cut bait.
