And, as you would expect, those few are generally produced by Lodge and/or Cabin operators. dd |

What are the best options for having some success catching lake trout this time of the year in WCPP? I assume they will be fairly deep??? Trolling Little Cleos or other spoons with keel weights? Trolling deep diving crank baits? Deep jigging? Anything else? Thank you for your help. Mike |

quote Marten: "I am not much of a fisherman and only fish to eat. When I am paddling trout waters and want some fish for supper I will attach a 2-4 ounce weight about 8 feet above a lure. I will then troll with various speeds so the lure (usually a five of diamonds Dardvel) will end up at various depths. In August I have been told by the real fishermen in Woodland Caribou to be at 70 feet. Jigging a Kastmaster at this depth is also effective. Don't be surprised if you pull up a whitefish from time to time. In spring and fall I will do the same thing but troll the shoreline in about 20 feet of water. A crude method but it has put Lake Trout in the Gumbo." Thanks Marten. That is what I figured. And call trolling what you like, but then "crude" is often effective! |

You might want to contact Harlan at Red Lake Outfitters or Claire at the WCPP Park Office in Red Lake for some insights. Viking Air had a few maps of lakes where they have fly in camps but I don't know if they contain lake trout. Craig or Hugh Carlson at Viking Air might be a resource for you as well. ......Mike |
