I dont know if your a tip up fisherman or not but I wouldn't bother setting any if you can put smelt on them, I would jig from 20-60 ft of water with Rapalas and marabou jig , pound the bod-om

smelt are the key for quanity. quality is a matter of having a good spot. good luck catching them though... the bite is slow but theyre down there if you look. our equation for lakers is 1 smelt = 1 trout. haha

You need help catching smelts?  Did you guys get the shanty out?  I was thinking of heading over Saturday, maybe.

Try nightcrawlers for the rainbows, just under the ice 5-6 feet or in shallow. Half a crawler with no weight and small hooks works good.

Im gonna try crawlers, maybe some rosie reds too

thanks everyone for the tips
