Arctic Lake Trout Fishing - Great Slave Lake, NWT
On this adventure friends Ryan Sproule, Jason Gauthier and Steve MacInnis visit Plummer's Lodge and reel up a bunch of Lake Trout using jigs, spoons and something new, the totally artificial Rhys Davis Baitrix herring rigs. It was back around 1980 when Steve discovered and popularized the effectiveness of this method using natural herring for catching Lake Trout. Now after 30 years of using real herring, Steve proves the plastic bait works just as well at fooling these aggressive predator fish. Tune in to watch this trio wrestle with some of the most beautiful Lake Trout, on one of the worlds most beautiful areas to fish, the Northeast Arm of Great Slave Lake, Northwest Territories.
