The lake trout in Manistee, Michigan provide an exciting fishing experience any time of year! The key is, when they adjust to the water temperatures, you need to adjust your fishing techniques. In early spring and then again in early fall the lake trout are typically found in shallow waters and can be caught casting with spinning gear. As the water starts warming up in late spring through to late summer the lake trout drop down in 60 to 90 foot holes where the water is cooler. Captain Jeff knows this and knows how to catch these fish.
