After a couple of fruitless efforts to the same area, I finally tasted the success of BWCA lake trout fishing this year. Trolling for these beautiful (and delicious) fish was a simple task. During the last week of May, we trolled 20' or 30' running lures over water not much deeper than 30 feet. On this particular lake, there appeared to be a dominant year class of fish, which were all in the 18"-20" range. No complaints regarding the fish- great size for eating, and they put up a good fight. I can't wait to hook into one of the larger fish that I know are lurking in this lake...maybe next year.
Lake trout four ways... need I say more? The crowd favorite was a last minute surprise...Dijon mustard/lemon pepper blend. They were all good!
