Sioux Narrows Lakers

[Poutwhacker]

I'm going up Laker fishing next weekend for the first time in years. It seems like most FM'ers are using white jigs w/ tubes. Any particular brand, type or size? We used to use sonars up there. Are they still used?
What about line? Are you using the Fireline Ice w/ a mono leader or reg mono or what?
Appreciate any help

I use a 3/8 oz eye-up jig with a 4 inch white tube. I pinch off about every other tentacle. I have also had some luck on clear yellow tubes. Stop at the Minnow Shop at Nestor Falls, they are located on the right on the south end just as you arrive in town. They have a big selection of tubes and jigs. They are very nice people as well.Open till 6:00 PM

Pout,read my report on 39 trout at nestor falls If you need rods gander Mountain sells a good stiff trout rod for only 9.99 use with a baitcaster reel. I liked the 34" rod the best or the 28". Good luck

This was my 2nd year laker fishing in Canada. This year I exclusively used powertubes and jigs.
I mainly use the 4" salted tubes by Berkely with the release material in them. I had colors of smelt, pearl white, pearl blue, shad, and plain old 3" white.
I did well on the pearl's and shad. Actually never even tried the 3" white, but my group used them and did well too! 27 trout in 2 days!!! No B.S
5 guys in our group and all 5 used them at ALL TIMES!
Easy to put together and tie on!

Everyone in our group used 8-10# fireline with a about 6-8' florocarbon leader of 8# test.

There is a nice bait shop in Nestor Falls, the name escapes me, but its on the main HWY.
Otherwise I recommend buying from store or ordering before your trip.

You do not want to be with out the above!
Good Luck!
