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

Any techniques or suggestions (including "don't bother") would be very much appreciated. "

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!
