After a awesome day on Simcoe for Jumbo Perch Sat I was up on a trip this past Sunday on Lake of Bays targeting Lake Trout. It was a beautiful sunny day and as typical with late season action (and 'blue bird' conditions), the bite was very lite! In order to level the field and up the odds in the 'catching' department finesse strategies were in order for sure!
All fish were caught with light action 32" rods and ultra-light reels spooned with Sufix 4lb Ghost braid with 3lb Sufix castable fluorocarbon leads and small Luhr Jensen Crocodile spoons tipped with a small minnow or just 1/2 a minnow did the trick.
We caught fish in 50 to 85 ft of water with deeper water being more productive as the day progressed. The fish in this lake are not only delicious but have some of the most brilliant awesome markings in many of the northern lakes I fish.
Be Safe and Good Fish'n, Greg
