Re: Lake Trout Techniques

ernest no lures generally single hook # 12 through 18 single plastic egg or fly works best for me. You want to fish them on a float anyway so about 8 feet leader 2-4 #2 ball barrel splits and your off to the races. Look for me there starting late August generally at the falling rocks

Re: Lake Trout Techniques

Sorry Miloman, I missed your post on April 8<br />I like to think the Credit River is a little or<br />maybe a lot like some parts of the Skeena River<br />in B.C. The Chinook are absolutely the ultimate<br />fly rod fish, especially while wading.I have a<br />9wt fenwick I use just for that purpose.I sure<br />enjoy going back from time to time.If your there<br />when the salmon come through you can catch them<br />just like you say.My best to date is 56 lbs <br />some of my Friends I grew up with have landed them<br />over 70 lbs.

Finally went out to Heron Lake (the winds have been horrible in NM lately) I had good luck catching a 31 inch 10 lb laker trolling a rainbow bomber Shortly after I caught it, the winds picked up horribly and I spent the rest of the day/evening at camp. Today I planned on fishing again, but the winds continued to howl, so I packed it up and came on home. Too bad that mackinaw come out when spring winds are hitting hard.

Apparently, jigging seems to work OK. <br /><br /> http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/recreation/article/0,1299,DRMN_7_1897226,00.html
