Lake Trout Line Weight

Modern trout fly lines benefit from the latest designs and technology.

Lake trout line weight. A 1-oz weight with 6-pound test dark green line is good for fishing down to 40 feet. In my opinion an eight foot length of 20 pound mono-filament works best in the lakes I fish. Rarely will fish exceed 1 in weight and there are several other things that make fishing with light line possible without constantly losing fish due to line breakage.

Mono-filament fishing line allows for a bit of stretch which translates to better hook-ups when these lake jewels hit your lure like a lightning bolt. Lake Trout have a total length between 20-36 51-91 cm body height of 4-7 102-178 cm and an overall weight in the range of 4-22 lb 18-10 kg. The heavier the line the more friction it creates in the water.

From learning their range and habitat to dialing in. The line with weight and lure or bait attached are then let out further behind the boat simple and very effective. Here at Fly Only we have an extensive range of trout lines which includes floating sinking.

Can the fish see my line. Every time you drop your line into the water could be the time you land the biggest fish of your life. If youre expecting to catch huge brown trout or lake trout heavy monofilament or braid 20 pound test.

When it comes to my braided mainline I like to use a 10 lb test. The combination of mythical size and difficulty to land makes the hunt for lake trout that much more exhilarating. It is also much more expensive.

We had every fishermans good luck sign come true. They also feed on aquatic insects and crayfish when young or when the food is scarce. The Lake Trout Salvelinus namaycush is loved both as a food fish and game fish.
