Does square have lake trout? What have you tried? I would suggest that you try fishing a #6 silver Panther Martin. For ice fishing, try using a red wiggler on a small hook. Just hook the worm once so it can wiggle around attracting the fish.

Just rainbows. I've never fished it, but look forward to this winter.

Try tossing out some 1/4oz buckshot rattle spoons. Rainbows up here in general have been slow also. If you have a canoe or small boat just troll them. I troll them about 40 yards behind me and it works quite well. I know nothing of Square Lake but the method is effective. I'd give my efforts at sun-up and sundown times.

Here is the Panther Martin Deluxe, all silver, third one down.

Tom which one did you use when I convinced you to try spinners on the Rush pre-season? Big one but swallowed deep and was a bleeder? Happens sometimes.

try 1/12 silver gold or bronze kastmasers. these seem to work well for me in the spring and early summer.

Phooj, just so you know, lake trout season is closed. And also, they don't live in square lake.

ive have seen it in square lake. i thought stream trout is closed but not lake? i ve have to double check that with the DNR. thanks for the info. Thanks all for your help

Fishing for stream trout in lakes is open through the end of October.

I guess I was just confused while reading. I wasn't sure if he meant fishing for stream trout in lakes or fishing for actual lake trout.

Splakeshaker would you rather eat a splake dinner or a walleye dinner? What can you tell the masses about trout lakes containing splake? I hear slake grow up fast. Splake is a male brook x female lake. Hatchery raised. Do they drop in fingerlings from helicopter?
