Lake Trout
These coldwater fish are a favorite of many anglers. Lake trout prefer
water in the 48 to 52 degree range and they will find very deep water to
stay in these temperatures. Lake trout are often caught in water 50 to
100 feet down. Because they need colder water to survive, they are
found in a few states out west, and some northern states including the
northeast and throughout most of Canada. They have light spots on a
darker background that can vary from light green or gray to dark green,
brown or black. Many 30 to 40 pound lake trout are caught every year
in northern lakes and the world record is over 100 pounds.
found in very deep water. During the spring and fall, you can find lake
trout in water less than 20 feet deep, but once the water starts to warm
up, they will head into very deep water. In some Canadian lakes, the
water temperatures remain in the 48 to 52 degree range in the shallows
throughout the entire summer. In these lakes, you can catch lake trout
in 15 to 20 feet of water all summer. For the lakes that have warmer
water in the shallows, you’re going to have to go deep to find these
fish. You will find lake trout anywhere from 40 feet to 100 feet of water.
Prime locations for lake trout in the spring-time are extensions from
islands and points, rocky points, rocky humps, shallow reefs, and river
mouths. In mid-summer, deep drop-offs and deep humps are ideal
spots for lake trout.
crankbaits. Some fishermen will still fish with dead bait. In the fall,
catching spawning lake trout in the shallows is extremely easy. Cast
spoons in 5 to 20 feet of water around rocky points, shallow humps,
shallow reefs and river mouths and you will catch fish.
for catching lake trout. Locate fish on the graph in deep water and try
jigging directly above them. Make sure you get your bait to the bottom if
you want to catch fish vertical jigging. When trolling for lake trout, you
are going to need to use downriggers to get to the proper depths. Find
fish on the graph first, then set your lines to the proper depths and you
will catch more fish.
