hey joey the lake trout in this lake are pretty finicky but can be caught. a couple weeks ago i went and we caught 2 lakers and a bunch of rainbows. the lakers were caught suspended about 40 feet down over about 70-80 feet. the rainbows were caught in about 7 feet. for lakers i used ciscos on tip ups and rainbows were caught on a small grub

Joey, you might also click on this thread.

It was started quite awhile ago, and there's a lot of banter back and forth, but there's also a lot of good info for a newbie laker taker.

There's also a lot of talk about inland laker fishing on that board in general. Aside from having Lake Superior in the geographical area of the BWCAW-Duluth-Ely-Range board, there are a LOT of inland laker lakes that fall within that huge area, and a ton of us are obsessed by lakers.

Good luck. Once you hook one, well, you'll be hooked!
