There has been very little activity on Big Trout Lake for Lake Trout. I didn’t check yesterday, but before that, only ATVs and snowmobiles hand gone out from the access. Only saw 2 houses on the entire lake. One report that caught 1 Whitefish and no Trout. Haven’t heard anything about activity on the Chain. Any reports out there?
I haven’t been out on Big Trout this year, but you might try giving BTR Outdoors a call.
Never been on big trout in the winter but always was intrigued by it. Do the ice conditions vary that much that people tend to stay away? Otherwise why such little activity?

Ice does form at a slower rate on Big trout than most of the surrounding lakes. The guys that got the Whitefish, but no Trout about 5 days ago, said that the ice varied from 11″ to 14″ in all of the holes that they drilled. The lake does have a lot of springs so ice depths can definitely vary. Especially by the access area on the east side.
I live by the lake and so far only two house this weekend but no other has really ventured out yet.
