Spring Lake Trout Fishing

Ok so we have had a few folks also asking about how to go about targeting spring Lake Trout

 if they don't prefer fishing shallow to target Brown trout.

So the Lake trout spawn in Oct/Nov & then they drop back out to the lake shortly after to feed. While some will roam the shallows, it seems like they prefer 30-60 FOW generally.

These fish are hungry & receive nearly no angling pressure except for those fishing around the Niagara Bar. So they generally are not fussy for lure preference in the early spring.

Most standard & magnum spoons will work very well. Green, chartreuse, silver & glow patterns will be good choices. You can use downriggers, lead core or Divers.

Targeting Lakers can be a good way to knock off the dust & shake down the boat before the Salmon arrive.

Hope this helps!
