Tips for Laker fishing on Canadian Shield Lake

Hello IDO-ers! I will be going on a fly-in trip in NW Ontario at the end of the month. The lake we are going to is large, deep, and clear. We’ll be going for walleyes most of the time, but the lake also holds a good amount of lake trout. Does anyone have tips for fishing these this time of the year? I’ve heard finding the thermocline can be key. We won’t have downriggers or any fancy trolling gear like that, but what would be your suggestions? Thanks

Heavy white jig with tail in fifty plus feet of water,fish vertically

If you aren’t going to be bringing any leadcore, dipsy’s, or downriggers than vertical jigging will be your best bet. You could try a heavy spoon, Jigging Rap, Swim jig head with white plastic, or hair jigs. When I have done it they are usually in 80-120 feet of water mid summer, but that could change from lake to lake I imagine. I would use something around 3/4 ounce and up for weight on your jigs/spoons.
