In the summer later in the evening try casting dry flies where you see ripples or movement close to the water. Don't pull the line fast like you would for Rainbow Trout. Let the fly sit on the surface and every 5 to 10 seconds bring the fly a foot closer. Another trick is to use a wet fly with a regular fishing rod. About 4 feet from the end of the line you want a wood floater.
Lake Trout are cannibalistic and you will find small trout close to the bottom in very deep water avoiding big trout in shallower water or close to the surface. The small trout above was caught in 50 feet where large trout are feeding. Note the teeth marks as this little gut got a second chance. Large trout have been known to pin bait fish against the ice using the ice like other fish use the bottom. End of season hunting is no time to finesse with small lures. This is the time to bring out the big hardware with a lot of flash, flare and rattle. Years ago, anglers would lure large fish to cut-outs in the ice with large decoys and either catch them with live bait or spear them.
