Broker Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Hey guys, going to Algonquin to fish for some trout this summer ( and bass but I have the tackle for bass..) and I'm heading out to do some shopping for lures and whatnot for the trip. Will be using both the Spin and fly rod, so what would you suggest for lures and flies? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ainsley Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 In the summer the lake and brook trout are in the deeper parts of the lake. I usually troll spoons or small jointed rapalas on a 3-way rig with 1 to 2 ounce weights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broker Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Thanks , my plan is to troll during the day and toss flies at dusk an dawn.. Is it worth my time to fly fish ? Heard that the trout come into shallows to feed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 If there's a hatch you might get a few fish on dries, if not pulling a streamer with a sink tip (Letting pretty much all your line out) is a good way to get them trolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.brock Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I'm guessing the flyrod won't be any good for the brookies or lakers in the summer, I'm assuming you won't have a sonar unit, try to find (guess-ti-mate) 40 to 70 feet of water and vertical jig just off bottom with a spoon for lakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky or Specks Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Flyfishing summer trout in lakes is a tough go. I'd fish wolf river rigs with Yozuri minnows or a perch rapala. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopheraaron Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Depends where you are, there are some pretty decent rivers up there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broker Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Starting in rock lake, and heading into the interior from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ainsley Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Pick yourself up the depth contour map book. I believe it has rock lake in it, if you're doing a circuit it also has Louisa which is a gorgeous lake. If you do hit up Louisa let me know, I was there last year and caught many lakers.

Broker Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Is there a point of even trying for trout on rock ? Or would it be a waste of time that i could be on the other lakes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirogak Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 They are tough enough in the spring and fall, summer is going to be way harder. The 3 way jig might be your only option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirCranksalot Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Find a river mouth at dusk and use flies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
