Best Trout Fishing

[tsande00]

Thanks NoWiser.

I should also mention Jim Hudson, an excellent multispecies (including trout/salmon) guide who fishes Lake Superior on Chequamegon Bay and the Apostle Islands out of Bayfield, Wis. Quite a few different trout species to be had in the bay itself through the ice, and if ice allows (some years it doesn't), there are some big lakers around the Apostles.

Jim also is a site sponsor/advertiser, and you can find info on him by clicking here.

While all three options have great lake trout in common, Burntside, Ontario inland lakes and Lake Superior offer distinctly different adventures. So keep asking questions and we'll chime in and help you narrow it down. You've come to the right site to ask!

EDIT: Nevermind...found what I was looking for.

one thing about canada, is most remote laker lakes have many special regs, such as barbless, or no bait alive or dead. if you stay at a resort, you won't need a permit for your sleds. lakes such as dryberry, hillock and winage are lakes we have done very good on. but I also have caught plenty here in minnesota. since the canadian exchange rate is not good, it will cost much less to stay here in the U.S.

For numbers go north into Canada and for size to go "Bobbing" on Lake Superior out of Bayfield with Jim Hudson. When there is good ice you will fish in 160 to in the area of 300' and cant even see your lure on electronics. Fighting a 20 plus pound laker that deep is a work out. Its way different than inland lake trout fishing. Something everyone should do once in their ice fishing career.

For some reason Crow Lake never really got me fired up, Souix Narrows was better fishing and Super Bee has some great spots to fish up with him.

Lots of good choices. If your looking for a easy drive to and sometimes out on lake with ok numbers and size try Burntside and Steve Foss.

Lakers are a blast through the ice. Open water fishing they just arent the same.
