Full-Day Fishing on Wisconsin's Trout Lake

Ready to wet a line in one of Wisconsin's best kept fishing secrets? Samsquatch Outfitters has you covered with our full-day trip on Trout Lake. We're talking 8 solid hours of chasing after walleye and lake trout in the heart of the Northwoods. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, this is the perfect way to experience some of the best fishing Wisconsin has to offer.

What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: you're out on Trout Lake as the sun's coming up, surrounded by towering pines and that crisp Wisconsin air. We'll spend the day targeting walleye and lake trout, two of the most prized catches in these parts. Our seasoned guides know every nook and cranny of this lake, so you're in for a real treat. We provide all the gear you need – rods, reels, bait, the works. All you need to bring is your valid Wisconsin fishing license, some grub, and whatever you want to drink. Oh, and don't forget to pack your sense of adventure!

Jigging and Trolling 101

On this trip, we'll be using two main techniques: jigging and trolling. If you're new to this, don't sweat it – we'll show you the ropes. Jigging is all about working that lure up and down to entice those fish. It's like a little underwater dance. Trolling, on the other hand, is when we cruise along slowly, dragging our lines behind the boat. It's a great way to cover more water and find where those fish are hiding. We've got top-notch equipment, so whether you're a pro or it's your first time holding a rod, you'll be fishing like a local in no time.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Walleye: These guys are the gold standard of Northwoods fishing. Known for their tasty white flesh, walleye put up a good fight and are a blast to catch. They've got these big, glassy eyes that reflect light at night, earning them the nickname "walleye." We usually find them hanging out near drop-offs or around underwater structure. Spring and fall are prime walleye seasons, but summer can be hot too if you know where to look. And trust me, we know where to look.

Lake Trout: Now, if you want a real challenge, lake trout are your fish. These deep-water dwellers can grow to impressive sizes, with some topping 20 pounds or more in Trout Lake. They're like the marathon runners of the fish world – strong, stubborn, and built for endurance. Lake trout prefer cold, deep water, so we'll be targeting them with downriggers or lead core line to get down where they're hanging out. The fight when you hook into a big laker is something you won't forget.

Time to Book Your Spot

Look, I could go on all day about the fishing on Trout Lake, but nothing beats experiencing it for yourself. At $450 for two anglers (with room for a third for just $50 more), this full-day trip is a steal. And hey, if you've got kids under 10, they fish for free! It's a perfect way to introduce the little ones to the joys of fishing without breaking the bank. So what are you waiting for? The fish are biting, and we've got a spot on the boat with your name on it. Give us a call, and let's get you out on Trout Lake for a day of fishing you won't forget. Trust me, once you experience the beauty of the Northwoods and the thrill of reeling in these fish, you'll be hooked for life.

Lake Trout

Lake trout are the kings of cold, deep water in Trout Lake. These big char can top 20 pounds, with sleek gray bodies built for the depths. You'll find them suspended over deep basins most of the year, moving shallower in spring and fall. They're not fast growers, but they can live for decades. Lakers put up a stubborn fight, especially when hooked deep. Anglers prize them for both the challenge and their rich, pink meat. Early season is great for targeting them near the surface. As summer heats up, we'll need to drop deep – sometimes 100 feet or more. Jigging with big spoons or soft plastics is deadly effective. My go-to trick? Add a strip of sucker meat to your lure for extra scent. It's like candy to a lake trout.

Lake Trout

Walleye

Walleye are a prized catch on Trout Lake, known for their tasty white meat and challenging nature. These golden-olive fish typically run 15-30 inches and prefer deeper, cooler waters near rock piles or weed edges. They're most active at dawn and dusk, using their light-sensitive eyes to hunt. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but summer nights can be hot too. Anglers love walleye for their fight and excellent table fare. To boost your chances, try slow-trolling with live bait rigs – a nightcrawler or minnow on a long leader behind a bottom-bouncing sinker. Keep your line tight and be ready for that telltale "thump" when they strike. Patience is key with walleye, but the reward is worth the wait.
