I've recently started applying Great Lakes style equipment and techniques during my lake charters, specifically the use of side planers and weight rods. I am lucky to live in an area that offers such good fishing on large nearby lakes/reservoirs. We fish for landlocked salmon, brown and rainbow trout. I have always been successful catching good numbers of fish with clients, but have moved towards satisfying my clients for catching BIG German Browns mainly. I'm finding instant success getting into big browns employing Great Lakes techniques. I'm hoping to learn even more through this community and will be heading east for a brown trout charter this spring and wish to fish with the best captain out there. I know there are many, but perhaps I could get some opinions from other seasoned captains. Please feel free to contact me with suggestions. Tight lines!
