Fishing Techniques

• For Northern pike

  Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.

• 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 Walleye

  Focus your efforts around dawn and dusk, as walleye are typically more active during these low-light periods; use a slow, deliberate retrieve, as walleye often prefer a subtle presentation.
