Wow, you were able to drag all of this equipment, canoe, motor, battery, fish equipment through the woods? How did you do that? Did you have to walk far?

I use atv but sometimes its 3-4 trips walking 1/4 mile carrying gear to lake.

Thx, guys. How do you know your troll/bait is at the right depth i.e. the right temp?

 

I use line counter reel and or i will bounce bottom in 15-17 feet and then reel up just a hair to get correct depth most lakes i fish are rock bottom so you don;t need to worry about weeds getting on tackle.

Like Sparky I'm a big fan of using gang trolls for trout. I use the 48" 7 blade Big Hammer for summer Lakers, and smaller ones like in the video for Specks and Bows on inland lakes. The bottom line is that they call in fish from a much greater distance and then once fish get closer the flash from all the blades further enhances the illusion of a school of baitfish. Once you find the cool water depth, trolling covers so much more of the lake and your lure is always in prime depth as opposed to casting. If we catch a fish then we'll circle back and redo the run.

Sparky those are nice trout for sure. Well done, I bet it took a good while for your your smile to go away after that venture. I have lot's of gang trolls, but I never had one with Chartreuse beads. I take it you like that one, do you find it makes a difference? Also, have you ever tried a ford fender gang troll? It can be run at a bit slower speed to get more depth on those deepest sections of the lake with more thump than the willowleaf blade.

 

Cheers

Yes i have run the bigger blade gang trolls also as for depth i fish max 30 feet most fish are in the 17-25 ft range.I have gang trolls with orange or with green they both work very well also.As for speed i troll @1,4 to 1.7 mph.

Hi Kurt,

I am amazed that you could catch under those conds. What were the water temps like, surface or at trolling depth The only success I have had in the summer was quite late in the evening, near dusk.

Water surface temp was 75 F .I drop temp gauge down and find 52-54 f.I have caught brook trout all times of the day.

Well done Sparky!

Thanks i love brook trout !!!

yes sir i run a worm !!

Well this morning was foggy as you can see in my video with moisture all over the lens on the way into the lake and the humid air made it even hotter in the canoe but it paid off the brook trout were hungry.

If you have a small boat i would go into Bailey Lake at the far end of halfway lake you need to portage into it  and its not a far portage.Walleye/Pike/Bass

I live about an hour from  Birch Lake it is a good Lake for fishing just watch the regs on the walleye only allowed 1 with a sport licence  @19.6 inch   and You are not allowed any with conservation Licence.

The smallies i have caught up to 22 "  

Some nice brook trout up there !!! Nice catch !!!!

Wow all i can say was what a awesome time i had with my friend from down south for 2 days fishing brookies at a good old age of 77 this man can push pull quads through the bush like he is 20 years old and has taught me a few things about the elusive brook trout here are some more pics !!! I did get 3 of the fish on video for my friend so he can show his family the days he spends with me....

Thanks guys i enjoy making videos and posting pics.I will also post my 2 daýs from the end of May .

What another awesome day i had fishing with my son we did not fish in the kayak or canoe but we back packed into a lake i love fishing and used a boat the heat and the bugs were crazy and it was time to give my son some of my fishing tricks as i don't get to fish with him lots because of his work hours.
