Laker's in the Schuswap

[Crossbow]

Has anyone fished for Trout (laker's or rainbows) there lately? I don't have downriggers so I would be jigging. Any suggestions on what kind of lures to use?

From my experience the big Kamloopers and Grays well be down deep because of the summer heat. You won't get then or find them unless you have the proper gear.
Check this website - very informative.

had lots of luck with downriggers at 90-110ft, if you dont have any, your best bet is drift jigging with some heavier spoons, try rainbow colors, white/black, or silver blue. try and find a 110ft flat for lakers, maybe by the narrows. my personal best was a 28" bow at 80ft on a downrigger. and sevaral 32" lakers also on downriggers around 110ft. Mornings and dusk fishing is always best. Also landed some smaller bows using a willowleaf and a smaller spinner trailing, about 5ft down trolling a bit faster, about 100yds back of boat. Hope this helps. Is really heavily fish though. good luck.
