Lake Trout fishing at Greenwater Lake
Start shallow in spring: lake trout sit in 10 to 40 ft that time of year. By summer they slide out to 22 to 72 ft, and by winter most fish are in 18 to 72 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 61 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. A white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger covers the summer program.
