Fishing Techniques

• For Northern pikeminnow

  Focus on areas with structure like submerged trees or rock piles, as Northern pikeminnow often ambush prey from these locations; vary your retrieve until you find what triggers a strike.

• For Brook trout

  Fish upstream, casting into pools and runs, allowing your bait or lure to drift naturally with the current for best results.

• For Bull trout

  Bull trout often lurk near structure like fallen trees or undercut banks, so target these areas with your presentations.
