HoneyGuy101: "Hey all,
I just wanted to get a few fish tips and tricks for Lake Trout fishing, especially at Lac La Croix. I know it's one of the more popular and local favorites for Lakers but I have actually never caught a trout of any kind before and it's always bothered me. I've never actually targeted them though either.
I just want to see what you guys do and what you would recommend. I'm pretty well versed in Walleye, Pike, Panfish, and Bass so I have plenty of equipment.
My main questions:
How deep? (May and June)
Kinds of rigs and lures?
Type of bait?
Anchor or trolling?
Thanks everyone! I'm hoping this is the year I get that Laker and get to taste a fresh one!

Trolling, if its a lake you don't know well... so you cover more area. In May troll a orange and silver Little Cleo (2/5 or 3/4 oz.) with lots of line out. Let it sink a bit before starting the troll. Do not tie direct to line but use a good-quality snap swivel. They won't be very deep in May.
