Bryson Lakers???

I'm waiting to see a few pictures of some big lakers being held up by a couple hawk takers! 
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.

I really should have given it more thought before I picked that one.)
