Hi All,
Long time reader of this forum, absolutely love all the advice here.
I'm considering trolling Lake O in my canoe for salmon / trout.. early morning before the big waves. Thinking of trolling in front of the credit river. Is this totally insane or is it doable? I'm thinking I'll stay very close to shore... just outside casting range.
Where can I monitor wind forecast? Any advice on how to translate that into how bad the conditions will actually be on the lake?
What kind of extra safety equipment / precautions should I take?
I have good experience canoeing, close to 20 multi-day overnight trips, but only small lakes that are relatively calm. I'm talking small algonquin lakes and other northern lakes. Never really been on big lakes in my canoe before.
Would absolutely love to hook into a salmon or a trout! I would really appreciate any advice most importantly about safety, but also fishing.
