Bryson Lakers???

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

You will be waiting for a lllooonnnngggg time for pictures. Kind of like I did.

Here is my 5 days summary ... 0 fish, not even a hit.

There is the main lake which is primarily lakers and a few scattered walleye and pike. Then, all of the surrounding lakes have pike, walleye, and different flavors of trout.

Let me say this, I trolled my butt off. So let it not be said that I did not give this lake a fair shot. But, all things being equal, I have maybe 2 items in my tackle box that swim deeper than 8 feet of water.

Apparently the lucky lure (according to some fellas at neighbouring camp) was a Williams wobbler, half gold, half silver, running at 60ft. My best set up was a gang troll with a bunch of weights dragging a good sized minnow and the deepest I could get was 50'. So, I missed them by that much I guess.

I can't put down the lodge, because I chose not to visit the surrounding smaller lakes. But I wish I'd had more realistic expectations of what it takes to get deep for those lunker lakers. If you are a lake trout guy, I would not hesitate to recommend this lake. If like your action fast and shallow, be prepared for a little hike to the outlying lakes.

The only picture I might have to share would be me crying like a little baby. And nobody wants to see that.
