Savage Voyageur: "I’ve not fished this lake so no fishing location from me. I would suggest trolling or casting a purpledescent Rapala Tail Dancer. Purple is the last color in the light spectrum to disappear so they will see it deeper than a red or yellow lure. Rig it up with a weight to get it at least 20-30 feet down. " I've read a lot of endorsements for Tail Dancer in purple. I guess I'll have to add another crankbait to the box! I'll have a couple spoons for vertical jigging, including blue and silver. |

The week on Snowbank was great. The fishing was very slow. Big thunder storm, a cold rain off and on all week, and 3 to 4' white caps kept us at camp most of the week. But, that is the BWCA and part of the adventure! I will never complain about any trip!!! It's God's country, it's my church. |

I’d also be looking at some spoons— probably little Cleo, crocodile spoon, Dr Spoon. You can cast those things a mile, drift with them, jig them, or troll them with some weights to get deeper. My 2 most productive lake trout trolling presentations the past two seasons have been a silver and blue croc spoon running at 25 feet (leadcore) and a blue chrome scatter rap tail dancer running at 20 feet (flat line). I’ve never fished snowbank so can’t give any specific tips there. Good luck! |

Flat line is a style of trolling without weights (sinkers) and usually involves letting out a lot of line to have the bait drop deeper. |
