BWCA lake trout

I have never fished for lake trout but it seems like a good challenge. i will be in the BWCA on june 7th and was wondering what anyones favorite bait or method is?
thanks….

doctor spoons in a couple of sizes will allow you to cast or troll.
kastmasters can be jigged and cast.
silver minnows also for casting/trolling.
carry a collapsible minnow trap and a large peanut butter jar with small holes in the top.
you should be able to catch minnows and leeches for live bait also.
canoe trolled Rap DT10 and DT 16s should work well also: blue, silver/black and firetiger would be my choices.
good luck and report back.

Rapala tdd9. What lakes you gonna be on?

Thanks guys. im only going on a day trip to a small lake called little trout lake. also how deep will they be this time of year?

Jigging a 1 ounce white bucktail is hard to beat. Make sure it has a stinger hook on it. Hook a large chub minnow on it, or a small sucker, you just want some meat on it. Let the treble (stinger) dangle so it is NOT hooked in the minnow. Northland makes a nice bucktail. White or pink are the best colors. I would focus in the 50 to 70 foot range.

Here is a link to the northland bucktails

Are you talking about the Little Trout Lake east of Trout Lake north of Lake Vermillion? If you are that lake is not deep enough to hold lake trout. You would pass through Trout Lake on your way and that does hold lake trout.

I looked on the mn dnr lake finder the lake is 60 something feet deep and the surveys showed lake trout. p.s. thanks i will stock up on some of the lures you all suggested.
