Lake Trout on Chironamids

[chronieking]

Anyone else gave this a try??, first tried it that little lake in the hills south west of Rocky after years of frusterating trolling somedays I could hook half a dozen lakers some days got skunked, regardless a 6 wieght fly rod with with 6lb leader proved to be quite fun....share your experiences..

Black body, chrome wrap with a white fuzzy head is the ticket.

I had, however, better luck on larger bead head streamers, like a big woolly bugger with a big tail. Again, same basic colors - black, white and silver wrap.

Haven't fly fished for lakers in years, but dragging and pausing, twitch these will produce.

We fly fish for lake trout lots at our lodge in the NWT, we find that the best fly is a deceiver preferred is about 6-10 inches long the standard clouser minnow or the clouser half and half . The double jointed deceiver works very well all season for us. We fish in the inlets and outlets of rivers and streams as this is a little warmer water which draws the bait to these areas and rock humps with in the lake.

Caught lakers on tube jigs on the flats in Lake Minnewanka early in the year, years ago, whose gills were packed with chironomids, black was the predominant color of those chronies
