Brown Trout in the warmer water

[westrate]

4/25/2007

The lake is still cold (38 degrees) and the brown trout and lake trout are found in the shallow water that warms into the high 40 degrees or along the river water discharge. The fishng is sporadic at best. One day you will catch 10 to 12 fish and the next day you catch one. The best place to fish is inside the inner sand bar with stick baits on the boards and small stinger spoons on the dipsies. The water is so clear that the downriggers are not producing very well. I have not recieved any information on any coho being caught, however they should be starting to move up the coast from southern Lake Michigan.

Browns have been finicky at times. I've found dumping the rigger leads back 75 to 125' to work well. Thanks for the report.

It been a tough go from what I've heard. Fish are there, just seem to have lockjaw. I'm hoping to be on the water Subday afternoon if all goes well.
