Factors that figure into finding lake trout in Minnesota’s Boundary Waters

Featured, Features, Fishing, Home Page News, Minnesota, National Fishing /

One of my favorite Boundary Waters rituals is the exchange of fishing information on portages. It’s a chance for the outgoing angler to brag a little, and the incoming crew to get a leg up on the fish.
This information is gold anytime, but especially when targeting lake trout from a canoe. Lakers can be anywhere in the spring, and it takes time to find them paddling. So, this year on my BWCA trip, like so many before, I worked a couple of proud anglers for information.

In 1875 the fish commissioners of Minnesota released their first annual report. They were wildly optimistic that whitefish would fuel a commercial fishing boom, if only they could eliminate the “vermin of the waters.”
Today it is amusing, if not bizarre, to read their disdain for the “egg devouring sturgeon,” pike, and “all cannibal fishes.” Reading those early fish commission reports you can’t help but shake your head and marvel at how much has changed. Except that, for one group of fishes, nothing did change.
