Deep Creek a splake is a mix between a lake trout and a brook trout or "speckled trout" thus you get a splake trout. I use to fish them in the U.P. in fairly shallow lakes with any standard size panfish jig and crappie minnows. Splake school pretty good, so once you catch one you can usually catch a couple more. Dead sticks and or Tip-ups can be effective on them also. Small aberdeen hooks, 4 lb. test leader, small split shot, and a really sensitive split shot.
