Lake Trout
Lake Trout fishing around Sister Bay offers a unique experience, particularly due to the relatively deep and cold waters of Lake Michigan. These fish can be targeted year-round, but the warmer months often require downriggers to reach the depths where they reside. Jigging with heavy spoons or using tube baits near the bottom is another effective technique. Focus your efforts on known structure like reefs and drop-offs, which are abundant in this area. A key tip is to utilize a good sonar unit to locate fish and structure. The local Lake Trout population is robust, with opportunities to catch both smaller 'eater' sized fish and larger trophy specimens. Be aware that regulations regarding Lake Trout harvest can change frequently, so always check the Wisconsin DNR website before heading out.
