Hi gang,

Any suggestions on a good lake trout set line rig?

Thanks Musky

a live minnow 2-3 feet off the bottom works best for me. but as I'm a little unclear with what u mean by a "set line" I guess that's all the help I can be

The past few years the trout has fooled me quite a few times they hit the spreader and I have caught whities on the high hook. I put a double spreader, hooks torned up on the bottom, and smaller minnows with one hook 3 feet up and one 5 feet up. They are snelled # 8 mustads. This setup in my hut caught me lots. Good luck and wait for ice before going out

Single minnow, 10-15 feet off bottom..........when they come up, they commit!

Often overlooked is same setup 1-15 feet under ice........big lakers cruise there.

Bob's observaions about the whiteis hitting high is also correct
