Lures for Lake Trout?

[jltimm]

I'm going to Canada end of June and was wondering what lures,spoons,ect... would be the best to bring?

If you are gonna try downrigging than I would suggest useing big willliams spoons, otherwise big jigs are good.

I've always had the best of luck to the Red Devil 5 of Diamonds

I have had success with a couple of things. Lee's 1 oz. jigs with the hair skirts and a stinger have worked very well.

Fleet sells a package of cured minnows that are cheap and hold up very well(tip your stuff).

Another thing is a longer solid metal herring type of jig with a treble on the end. You can bend it accordingly to float/wobble on the drift down from the jig.

Sutton spoons work fantastic behind one of the dipsy divers. Depending on how deep you might get away with less than 1 ounce stuff for jigs but much over 70 feet and they do not stay in line very well.

How big are the lakers where your going And what's there main forage? Match the bait fish as close as you can and remember big fish means big baits.

The lake trout usually run 3-5 lbs,but in the winter they get them up to 30 lbs.White Otter lake is where I'am going,and we have caught a few strays before so I'm interested in getting more serious for them.
