In June (20-26), I will be going to the Ima, Thomas, Fraser area. I would like to do some Lake Trout fishing. Any suggestions on baits, the depth to fish at that time, areas to look for. Also, any suggestions on camp sites or other items of interest please let me know...

Good Paddling, Great Fishing, and God Bless All...

Will also be fishing for walleye, northern, and smallmouth in the area, and for Brook trout in Ahsub...

hey, the trout have been biting shallow this winter. In less then 20 feet of water. Most lake trout fishing has been really slow though. So you might have better luck with the walleyes and notherns. I caught most of my northerns in 6 feet of water. Goodluck and let me know how you do

While I haven't been to the Ima, Thomas Fraser route for a few years..(I have attched the photo with the new add photo feature on this site! Nice job guys.) I distinctly remember stopping off on Hatchet to fish Walleye, there is a nice shelf around the first point on the left as you go down the lake, might be a nice diversion from cranking deep divers for lakers.

On the lakers... We had success trolling large shad raps and dr. spoons across Fraser in depths as deep as 40 feet...we would add split shots 18-24 inches infront of the lures to get them down. Also night crawlers on heavy jigs in 50-75 feet mid-day. Nothing like a 2-3 pound laker roasted with butter and onions in a bed of coals for a good evening meal.

Luck,
