HI IrishAyes,i will be talking about using wire line to fish lake trout.its a deadly method to take large lake trout in 70-90ft.draging spoons on the bottom.we have found that lakers like to follow the spoons when on the downriggers.with the wire we can jig the spoons to trigger a strike,this is deadly on the larger fish say 15-30lbs.most of the former laker records in the valley were taken this way.i am a e-board member of rvta and run the tournaments there.i also have a scientific data permit and collect stomach contents from hook and line caught fish that are being used in a fish and game study.
