As previously mentioned, the easiest way to catch Walleye is with a jig-head tipped with a minnow, leech, worm, or soft plastic twister tail. You can also troll crankbaits that work at different depths depending on where the fish are. Northern Pike are most easily caught on spoons or buck-tails. Most of the time, Pike are found along weedy flats along the lakeshore or in shallow marshy bays. Lake Trout generally require a bit heavier jig due to the depth that these fish reside in. Please bear in mind that Lake Trout fishing is not easy and takes extreme patience at times. The best way to go about fishing is to get a good firsthand knowledge of the fishery you will be visiting prior to arrival at your camp.
