Book on icing lakers?

[Steve Foss]

Somebody somewhere must have written a book about lake trout that includes techniques/lures/locations for lake trout under ice.

Anyone know of one?

sftcatfish,

I don't know of a book that primarily focus on lake trout but I know of some publications that include lake trout fishing. Check out the In-Fisherman Ice Secrets book, I'm almost positive that lakers are in there. I'd also check out some books by Tom Greunwald, he's written numerous books on ice fishing some of which I recall lake trout as one of the chapters. If I remember correctly they are called "Hooked on Ice Fishing" and "Hooked on Ice Fishing--Gamefish". I would stick with the In-Fisherman book, it has more detailed information and helps you fine tune your approach. But all three books are good sources.

Good Fishin, Matt.

Matt, what's it like with all that info crowding your head? I'm an In-Fisherman type, but never got around to that book. Looks like it's on my shopping list. Nothing beats actually fishing, but since it's darn near three months until ice lakers open, a guy's gotta do something for a fantasy life, and all that talk from Surface Tension about pantyhose tells me I better keep my mind on fishing!

Well, Matt, ordered the In-Fisherman book you mentioned.

But let's not stop here. Anybody else know of good laker books with info on catching them through the ice?

You know on the subject of the In Fisherman series of books...I have the Walleye one and I am not exagerating when I say that before each phase of the season changes I pick that book up and read that chapter. It is amazing the things you forget to do and how well those books help you fine tune what your doing. Now It looks like I have to spend more money and get the Ice one...thanks alot Matt

In-Fisherman released a series of books on almost every species of fish. I own the crappie, walleye, pike, and Ice Fishing Scrects books. All of them have some emphasis on ice fishing. I've read the crappie book about three times (mostly the ice fishing part) and learned a lot from it. I just got the pike book this past spring and haven't got too far into it yet.

Also, every year In-Fisherman comes out with an Ice Fishing Guide (magazine). There is a lot of good info in these as well. I figure it sould be released sometime during November. I would also recommend joining Ice Team, they stay on top of things and are probably the best ice fishing source around. Any question you have can be answered online as well.

sftcatfish,
Did you check on the Tom Greunwald books? They might have some additional info that takes a different aspect then the In-Fisherman book.

Good Fishin, Matt.
