Lake Trout Fishing
August 2, 2007 | 3 Comments
Lake Trout can mostly be found in the northern part of the United States and Canada. They are prized as both a game fish as well as a food fish. Lake trout are the largest of the trout species and can grow in excess of 40 pounds in some cases. Lake trout are dependant on cold, deep, oxygen rich water, which is why they are mostly found in the Northern parts of North America. As a matter of fact, here’s a trivia question for you: Did you know that nearly 25% of Canada’s lake trout population is found in Ontario, and even though this is true, only 1% of Ontario’s lakes contain Lake Trout?

Lake trout are a type of fish that are completely different then any other fish. Those that like to go lake trout fishing, know that they are difficult to catch. Unless you know just how to do so, well, your chances are small of actually getting one. Lake trout fish are the ones everyone wants though as their size can be enormous! Lake trout fishing is a great type of fishing, but you will need the knowledge of these fish before you begin to fish them.
There are many unique qualities to lake trout. One of the most important is their size. The record weight for lake trout is over 102 pounds! Imagine bringing that in!

These lake trout are called Siscowets or fat trout. Those that don’t have this variety of small fish to eat, will eat plankton, insects, and crustaceans. Obviously, this fish is not going to weigh nearly as much.
