Fishing Deep for Lake Trout
The lake trout is essentially a deep-water game fish, habitually seeking the very deepest portions of its habitat. It should be trolled for, therefore, in water running from fifty to one hundred feet or over in depth, preferably where the bottom is rocky, and off rocky reefs extending down into deep water. This being the case, it is not difficult to understand why anglers for bass and other fish never strike a lake trout, and also why tackle of a very specialized sort must be used in lake trout fishing. In mid-summer another good place to "work" is in the vicinity of the spring-holes. Almost every lake has its resident fisherman or fishermen—gentlemen of infinite leisure and obscure habits who "live off the lake" by fishing and guiding—who, for a suitable stipend, will reveal to you the geography of the lake bottom as regards its bars, reefs, spring-holes, etc., matters of the utmost importance to the angler for lake trout.
