It’s May 26 and the Lake Trout fishing in the Ogoki River has just started. Paul Boucher, the owner of Ogoki Frontier, is a great wealth of fishing tips about what types of fishing will work, what type of bait to use, where to try and when to try.

I really wanted to try Lake Trout fishing and Paul had said there are only two times when you can do that; now and in the fall as the Trout move in and out of Whiteclay’s deeper waters.

Close to the Whiteclay West Camp about 2 miles up the Ogoki River at the first rapids was where we had the lucky strike. We were acutally fishing for Walleye and Northern Pike and pulling them in like crazy when this beautiful Lake Trout grabbed Chuck’s line.

We were jig fishing just below the rapids in about 8 feet of water with a 1/4oz yellow jig when totally by surprise he caught the first Lake Trout of the season.

Slabbed into steaks and BBQ’d, our gang of 5 enjoyed this delicious 28 inch Lake Trout.

If your interested in catching Lake Trout I would strongly recommend Whiteclay Lake and Paul’s outfit Ogoki Frontier.
