Heading into Quetico next week. Anyone having success with Lake Trout? How deep are you finding them right now?

Had success on Kahshapiwi, Sarah, and Burke. Lakers were hitting baits that were about 10-20' down, water depth was always 35' +. Spoons worked best, with flatfish coming in a close second.

Caught several lake trout on Quetico Lake two weeks ago using a purpledescent Rapala Deep Down Husky Jerk with 8 lb Firewire line. I had 100 feet of line out.

We just returned from a 6 nighter. Caught Lakers on every lake we tried. They are deep. We were catching them over 50 ft of water. They seemed to prefer spoons, Williams warbler, krocodile, cleo blue/nickle, but we did catch several on rappalas, and swedish pimples. The key we found was keeping the lure wet and trolling, day break produced better than dusk.
