Yankee in the ROC 4/23 & 4/24

[Yankee Troller]

April 23

What a great day in Rochester! These guys from Maine were pleasantly surprised! The Yankee Troller Bay Rat Lures was a stud off our boards early back 100-115'. Then a black and silver Smithwick took over. Chinook Divers accounted for a few with NBK and Mixed Veggies behind them back 10-15'.

We made a few passes in the morning for Brown Trout, and they were snapping pretty good. Black and silver Smithwicks and Bay Rat Lures Black Flash were good on the boards back 115-125'. NBKs were good on our Chinook Divers back 10' as well. After 3 passes we headed north looking for Lake Trout and Salmon. Almost struck out on that plan, but a Lake Trout hit a diver with 30 minutes left in the trip. All in all a decent day. I have a feeling these Maine guys will be back!

. The lakers were a little weird yesterday. The usual spinny/fly dodger/fly combos only saw marginal activity. They wanted giant super mag spoons.

I concur with the LT mood yesterday.

When it gets tough like that, down size your cowbells and spin n glows.  Longer leads on the spin n glow rigs works too.

I'm not so sure what I was seeing on my electronics was LT. They were super glued to the bottom. Ran spoons, F/F, and cowbells by them and not 1 touch with 30-40 marks. You'd think one would go on cowbells if they were Lake Trout eventually. I have a sneaky suspicion they were Kings and just not active at all.

i seen the same on sunday.threw everything i had at them and couldn't move a rod.the only Lt bites we had were off a five color and one off a 150 copper.i wasn't thinking kings at the time but now i'm thinking you're right.i did see a couple small schools of bait.some wild currents too.
