Artificial Lures for Lake Trout
In some localities it is difficult to obtain minnows in sufficient quantity or large enough for lake trout trolling and in such case resort may be had Artificial to various artificial baits. Artificial baits are not as successful with the lake trout as the natural minnow, but many good lakers are taken on them. One of the best artificials for lake trout is known as the "silver soldier." This is a minnow made of German silver, simply a flat, curved piece of metal cut in minnow-shape and fitted with a single hook. A number of trolling spoons are adapted to lake trout fishing and the best of these are the ones which do not revolve in the manner of the orthodox trolling spoon but play from side to side when drawn through the water. When deep-trolling it is often impracticable to keep the boat moving fast enough to get sufficient spin on the ordinary trolling spoon. It is also practicable to use the wooden bait-casting minnows or phantoms. Fairly large trolling spoons should be used.
