Bottom bumping for lake trout This week produced another change in the fishing pattern. We began the week fishing out in 240 to 270 foot of water and as the week progressed, the number of fish seen and caught decreased from 8 to 12 fish per trip to 3 to 6 fish per trip. By the week end we were fishing in 80 to 100 foot of water and and catching Lake Trout on the bottom with an occasional Chinook’s salmon 40 to 60 foot down. The best method for the lake trout was the 11 inch flashers (white glow and green glow) flasher with the Green Dude Rapture Trolling fly behind. We dropped the downrigger just off the bottom and the wire divers were run out 250 foot. There were also some lake trout taken on metal flashers and Green Hypnotist fly. The salmon came mainly on 300 ft of copper and 300 ft. of copper with a dive bomb with magnum and stingray lures (NBK and Green Dolphin). The fish in the 100 foot depth had all ages of alewife in the bellies so I would expect to see the salmon stage in this depth soon. |
