Moving along slowly - 1.5 to 2.0 knots - using a lure and/or fly set-up. Ideally placing your lure as close to the bottom with the aid of a depth sounder.
As you follow the contours of the lake your sounder helps to keep you at the depth you are targeting. The depths we target vary throughout the year. Ranging from shallow (to 5 metres), and deep (to 40+ metres).
Summer and Autumn:
The trout are above the thermocline (a layer in the lake marking the change from warm surface water to cool bottom water). This progressively gets deeper so that by March it is approximately 30 to 40 metres down.
Winter:
The lake mixes and all the water is the same temperature. The fish are spread through the depths so adjustments are made to target them on any particular day.
Spring:
With the onset of spring, the smelt start spawning in the shallows - smelt make up the main diet of trout and Harling (shallow trolling) starts to come into its own. Hunting for those trout which are chasing the spawning smelt.
