The Lake Trout, The Muskellunge
The Great Lakes trout or lake trout trout, Cristivomer lake trout, and the muskellunge, Esox masquinongy, are the "big game" fishes of the sweet-water angler. Of the two the muskellunge is undoubtedly the better game fish but, unfortunately, far less widely distributed than the lake trout. The muskellunge also, as a surface fish, that is, for the most part inhabiting the fairly shallow water along-shore in the vicinity of the weed beds, may be fished for with more sportsmanlike tackle and methods than are practicable in the case of the lake trout, the latter being essentially a deep-water fish. Fishing for "lakers," however, when done rightly, is far from being poor sport; but the angler to get any appreciable results must know his fish and the way to fish for them. Lake trout fishing is quite unlike any other form of angling. Many lakes and ponds containing lake trout in abundance have been fished for years by anglers for bass, pike, or pickerel without so much as a strike from a laker.
