Where the fish are today
89% Good chance for lake trout today · 12–46 ft deep
- Water 54°F on top, warmer than they like, so they go deeper and into the shade.
- Best water today is 12–46 ft deep, mostly on channel edges.
- The lake is layered: warm water down to about 50 ft, cold below.
- Little oxygen below about 75 ft, so fish stay above it.
Best zone: channel edge, about 5% of them, 18–46 ft deep (the fish on the map above).
