Fishing Techniques

• For Yellow perch

  When perch are finicky, downsize your bait or lure and use lighter line to increase your chances of getting a bite. Focus on areas near weed beds or drop-offs as they often hold schools of perch.

• For Lake char

  Target lake trout in deep, cold water during the summer months, focusing on areas with structure or drop-offs; use a fish finder to locate schools of fish and baitfish.

• For Landlocked atlantic salmon

  Vary your retrieval speed and depth until you find what the fish are responding to on that particular day, as these salmon can be finicky.
