Jigging Strategies For More Lake Trout This Winter
trout
  Combinations
of gold, silver, blue and green are my favorites, Bright colors are better suited to shallow water, where increased light penetration gives them life. Attach all spoons with a ball bearing snap swivel or splice in a barrel swivel a few feet up the line to eliminate twists. Lake trout grow slowly, and are increasingly vulnerable to fishing pressure and stress during the winter months. Invest in the future of your favorite trout lake by practicing catch and release. Learn where the structure is, cut lots of holes, and jig your way to some of the finest ice fishing of the season! ±
