lake trout

No tube jigs? I never have luck with spoons. Usually 1 rod tied with a tube jig and 1 tied with a swimbait.

Edit: I see you have tube in that other pic

I too look forward to the pic, as myself and my 10 year old son want to get into the lakers..

A spring camping trip west of PG will get you into lots of them! Burbot too! Maybe go home with a bear !

let me know if you ever need any ideas on where to go.

That dark lure is a chrome Deadly dick with a mylar/glitter sticker. The other is a 3/4oz Mimic Minnow that is discontinued and a swimbait from Cabellas.

Good to know thanks Tigrr... with the white lure I'm assuming your mimicking a kokanee or rainbow trout? What do you think the dark lure would be mimicking?

Thanks for the advice buddy sounds good, if I ever come that way I'll let you know... I know a few ppl in my neck of the woods that are catching lakers and I know a few of the lakes, so now I just need to get the time in and gain some experience..

Laker fishing is a lot of fun, when they are in the mood. I fish big tubes and spoons as well as lipless crankbaits. Williams ice jig spoon is a great spoon. A good fish finder is very important. A LOT of fish come in and check out your baits and don't grab them. Lakers can be super picky and will drive you nuts. Lots of fun when you get them on the ice. I try and release all bigger fish. They take a long time to grow big.

I use a 4" Williams Wabler spoon, brass and silver textured finish. Good for Lakers and burbot.

Eating one wild fish same as month of drinking tainted water: study

My buddy sent me this article, it's is more specific to the States.
It sounds extreme and I'm sure there are pristine areas in the US too.
