My trip to the east arm of great slave lake NWT

[Spanky29ca 0]

Just got back from a great trip in Northern Canada, after a 9 hour boat trip we set up camp and the fishing was unlike anything I've ever experienced. I caught 113 lake trout in four days, no greyling this year but there is always next year. Beautiful scenery, great company and fantastic weather. I had to be careful with how many pictures i took as some moron (me) forgot to charge the camera battery.

I haven't caught a lake trout before but they were very eager to take a fly on a 30 foot sink tip line, I think I'll take a full sink next trip and see how it works

What flys where you using? I have some lake trout around me that I've been wanting to target for a while, but they tend to hang in 40-100 ft. This time of year.. I'm thinking this fall will be a better bet for em. I was thinking articulated streamers and buck tails

I was using flies very similar to these in blue and white, white and red and chartruse with blue and white. With the double hook. The head was more of a thread based head but very similar. I wish I could have taken a pic of the exact fly but I left them with my father in law because he lives there and I don't have much use for them around Calgary. I either stripped them with a 30 foot sink tip line or trolled them a a very slow speed with the same line.They were all over them, so much that the guys with spinning rods were using them with their down riggers instead of their baitfish. I tied in some extra flashabou on the trailing hook to give them a little more flash which looked really good in the clear water up there.
