Trout Fishing - How To Fish For Lake Trout
Lake
trout fishing needs a greater degree of fishing skill. This is
especially true in the summer. Here are some tips and tricks of how to
catch lake trout in different seasons.
Lake
Trout Fishing - Use Trout Fishing Lines and Rods
Many
people make the mistake of using thick fishing rods and lines to catch
trout. Actually, the exact opposite is needed for lake trout fishing. Thin
fishing lines cause less friction with the water, which makes it easier to
go deep with. Thick, heavy rods are not sensitive enough to give you an
indication when small fish are pulling at the line deep in the water.
For lake
trout fishing, you also need:
- a light action rod with a six pound test line
-
Three way
swivels
-
2 oz weight
or a 3 oz weight - depending on whether you are fishing up to 50 feet or
80 feet of trout.
On one end
of the swiveled line tie the 2 or 3 oz weight. On the other, tie a small
lure.

Trout Fishing Technique
To catch
lake trout, you need to let the line reach the bottom. However, do not
just let the line out until the line reach the bottom of the lake.
Instead, once you have a good straight troll, let the line out one or two
feet at a time. The tip of the rod will bounce up and down as you let the
line up. When the line hits the bottom of the lake, this rhythm will stop.
When this happens, pull the line up a foot or two to prevent your
three-way swivel from getting tangled.
When lake
trout fishing, the small fish immediately pull, so you know that you have
baited a fish. The big trout often do not know they have been hooked and
they will slowly swim away. When the big trout realize that they have
been hooked, they struggle and they can easily pull the line for a 100
yards before you can start reeling them in.
The
Best Time for Lake Trout Fishing
In
summertime, lake trout are best between sun rise and 10:30 am. They hit
better when the sky is clear, when the lake is calm, and when the pressure
is high. In early spring, trout feed in other time of the day. In some
lakes, trout feed just before dark.
Pay
Attention to Shoreline Structure
When you
go lake trout fishing, it is important to pay close attention to the
shoreline structure and mentally visualize how the elevation patterns run
into the lake. If there is a cliff, the water will probably be deep at the
bottom. If there is a string of islands, probably a shallow shoal runs
between them. Trolling parallel to the shoal to get that best result.
You can
easily estimate how many feet you have dropped the line by simply count
the number of times you have let out the line ¡V assuming that you let
the line out one foot at a time. It is recommended to fish at between 40
and 60 feet. When wind is blowing, it is a good idea to fish on the side
that the wind is blowing from.
Finding
the Trout Fish
Lake trout
rise to the surface in spring. In summer, the trout begin to go deeper as
the water is thinner. Many people believe that during this time the trout
have gone dormant in the deepest part of the lake. Actually, the trout lie
suspended in 53-degree thermal layers, which is where the bait fish lie.
Experienced anglers usually keep a depth finder to map the schools of bait fish that lie suspended. Troll on the outside of the bait fish schools.
Lake trout fishing is relaxing and fun. Keep these tips and tricks of lake trout fishing in mind to greatly improve your fishing experience and increase your catch.
