Summer Lake Trout Fishing

July and August Lake Trout Fishing

The Lake Trout go deep in the summer (water temp above 58 degrees) troll deep using 8-14 lb test, deep divers and lots of weight are suggested. Troll in forward varying your speed, this not only excites the trout but it also captures their attention at varying depths. Use a variety of spoons and Rapala's. Cicada's and airplane jigs are also highly recommended. The other method of summer fishing is to vertical jig using a lead head with a 3" white twister tail, or even better is a Getzit (tube jig-looks like a squid and is hollow to place the jig inside) 1/2 - 1 oz. depending upon depths you are trout fishing. Sometimes tip the jig with a minnow.
