I’m going to the stairwell portage the first week of June was wondering if it’s worth fishing lake trout for the day on Duncan.Was also thinking about a day on clearwater anybody have any thoughts on that. Mrs. Mycelia has never caught a lake trout thought this might be the time.

I’ve caught LT on Clearwater that time of year for sure. Could be anywhere from shallow to 40-50 feet down, just depends on water temps. Crocodile spoon was our most productive bait last June.

Clearwater is a super deep lake and warms up slow. Both times I was there on opener nothing was moving yet, not even trout. But by June, it might be perfect. Mountain just north of Clearwater is a great trout lake too, and I did well there on opener. By June they'll probably be off the shore and deeper on Mountain. Every year is different, so I hope you hit it right!

Just a reminder, stairwell portage will be reconstructed this summer. Stating as soon as ice goes out, and expected to be done some time in July.
