Planning a trip to Insula the first week of August, and I am thinking a potential day trip up to Thomas might make sense to see if we can get some Lake Trout, but I've never fished for them that late. Any techniques or suggestions (including "don't bother") would be very much appreciated.

Check out this thread:
Trolling

Here is the summary:
- Find a lake with lakers (needs to be at least 65 feet deep)
- Buy a purple Rapala Deep Taildancer
- Get a depth map or bring a depth finder
- Cast the taildancer about 40 yards behind the canoe
- Paddle around in water that is at least 50 foot deep
- When your pole bends over and your drag screams, reel in the laker
- Repeat until you have your limit of lakers (In Quetico, the limit is one laker per license)

So there is hope. Excellent!

On a sunny day anything Mylar—shiny and gives off a flash...they will come a long way to hit that.
