When is the Best Time To Fish for Giant, Trophy Lake Trout
The fact is that the best time to fish for Lake Trout really varies from year to year. Ask 10 anglers this same question, and you’re likely to get 10 different answers. What we can do is to explain why different people choose different parts of the sea-son to fish, then let you decide what time is best for you. Although our fishing season is short (mid-June through mid-August), remember that our trophy Lake Trout are truly remarkable in size, with the record being 56 pounds! So it’s well worth it to plan your fishing trip in advance for whatever part of the season suits your fishing style the best.
Early Season Lake Trout Fishing
If you prefer fishing shallow water, you’ll want to book your Lake Trout fishing trip in the early part of the season – anytime from opening to mid-July. During this time of the year, trout fish are generally in more shallow inshore waters. Anglers usually have success either trolling or casting crank baits or large spoons. Jigging 2-ounce buck tail jigs has also proven effective. Early season can be a great time to fish for trophy Lake Trout. In fact, in 2012, it was common to see 20-pound-plus trout fish caught daily during this time of the year!
Mid to Late Season Lake Trout Fishing
Just because many anglers were catching Lake Trout weighing in at over 30 pounds during the early part of the fishing season, doesn’t mean you should avoid mid to late season trout fishing. In fact, from mid July through the latter part of August, many fishermen have had great success fishing in the deeper are-as of Kasba Lake. Here’s another reason to aim for late in the season: the incredible number of Cisco that spawn in the is-lands in front of our camp. The bountiful numbers of this small bait fish really bring in the trophy lake trout within close vicinity to our lodge. It’s not uncommon for more than 50 trout a day to be caught dur-ing this late-season spawning of the Cisco.
