Comment: Spring is normally the fastest action with the salmon and trout feeding near the surface. Trolling streamer flies, smelts, crawlers, plus lures seems to bring the best results. Very popular fly patterns are the Grey Ghost, Black Ghost, Mickey Finn, and the Kennebago Smelt plus many others. Lures such as the Mooselook Warbler, Flash King Warbler, Sutton spoons, Rapala's and many more are the lures of choice. Tying smelts (not live) on leaders is also very popular along with trolling worms and crawlers. Weight on your line or the use of downriggers is not normally needed at this time of year as the fish are feeding between 1' and 10' below the surface. Summer fishing in the lakes is different as the fish are in deeper depths seeking cooler temperatures. You would normally use lead core line or downriggers to get your bait down to the fish. The fish still feed on the same bait as in the Spring season, just somewhat deeper, normally 20' to 50' down from the top and in deeper sections of the lakes. Fall fishing in the lakes is a combination of summer and spring fishing depending on whether the water has cooled off to bring the fish back up toward the surface.
