Podcasts about Lake trout

For the first time in decades, scientists are not going to stock Lake Champlain with hatchery lake trout. That's because wild fish are finally spawning and sustaining their populations again.

Join Brad & Jess as we chat with two of our long-time Brand Ambassadors, Rob Ouellette and Al Benoit. Both Rob and Al reside in Sudbury Ontario, made their careers as corrections officers, and both own recreational property near Manitoulin Island where they do a lot of fishing for Salmon and Lake Trout. On this podcast, we talk about the local fisheries, fish allergies, trolling techniques, spoons and tournaments. We also dive into the important topic of fishing as a tool to improve mental health.

(May 2, 2025) Lake trout disappeared from Lake Champlain by 1900, the victims of pollution, overfishing, and the invasive sea lamprey. Biologists have engineered a remarkable comeback, and now the fish are thriving on their own and stocking efforts are winding down. Also: Fort Drum generates almost $2 billion for the North Country economy, making it the largest single-site employer in the region.

In this edition of West Virginia Outdoors, Chris Lawrence chats with listener Calvin Grimm and Captain Adam DeLand about an unforgettable fishing trip on Lake Ontario, reeling in Browns, Coho, and Lake Trout. Hear how spring conditions create the perfect storm for success and learn about conservation efforts for Atlantic salmon. Later, Brad Reed, Executive Director of the West Virginia State Parks Foundation, joins Chris to discuss the foundation's mission, recent improvements, and the future of West Virginia's top-tier state park system. Plus, a preview of the upcoming West Virginia Trout Festival!

Send us a textThis week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast your host Downrigger Dale talks to outdoor reporter, writer and Hunting and Conservation Editor for Outdoor Life, Andrew McKean. Andrew wrote a wonderful article for the 2025 March/April edition of Montana Outdoors Magazine. The title of the article is Double Bacon Cheeseburger with Fins. This fascinating article covers the history and the effect of the introduction of the Cisco into Fort Peck Reservoir over 40 years ago and the effects this amazing forge fish continues to have on the sport fish that live in the Reservoir. Of course, most avid Fort Peck Anglers are aware of the Cisco, but they may not be aware of how the Cisco continues to grow the population of world class sport fish in the reservoir and how they are changing the behavior of the larger of the Walleye, Pike, Lake Trout, of course the Chinook or King Salmon and maybe even the larger Catfish. Now, many of you reading this may be asking what do you mean? Well when you listen to this Podcast you will hear Andrew talk about why more and more anglers are catching for example large Walleye and Pike suspended in deep water, often when they are fishing for the King Salmon! In fact, during the podcast Andrew even gives a stunning prediction that one of these days soon there will a new record Pike caught deep that will exceed...wait until you hear that weight! He also talks about other positive things about this amazing forge fish that you will for sure find VERY interesting. Yeah, you will learn that the story of the Cisco is a rare success story for a nonnative forge fish. So, mash that play button and listen to this fascinating podcast about the Double Bacon Cheeseburger with Fins.Links:For more information about the Cisco click here.To learn about all the articles you can find in the March/April edition of Montana Outdoors Magazine click here.Click here to read the article Double Bacon Cheeseburger with Fins.Questions for Andrew McKean?

#740 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/740   Presented by: Northern Rockies Adventures In this episode, we dive into the remote and wild fishing experiences offered by Northern Rockies Adventures with Daniel Schildknecht, Phil Rowley, and Lance Egan. From chasing Northern Pike, Lake Trout, and Grayling to navigating untouched rivers by float plane, this trip had it all. Plus, we get an inside look at an upcoming hosted trip that might be your next dream adventure. Strap in for big fish, wild landscapes, and some unforgettable moments on the Wet Fly Swing Podcast! Episode Chapters with Phil, Daniel, and Lance on Northern Rockies Whitefish, Grayling, and the Predator-Prey Game The lakes and rivers of the Northern Rockies are home to a mix of fish, each playing a role in the ecosystem. While whitefish and grayling might not be top targets for every angler, they tell an important story about these waters. Key Takeaways: - Whitefish = Healthy Water – Mountain whitefish are a sign of clean, untouched rivers. If they're thriving, so is the fishery. - Grayling on Dry Flies – These fish love rising to dries but don't always have the best aim. Be ready for multiple takes! - Whitefish = Food Source – Big rainbows, bull trout, and lake trout feast on whitefish. Schools of them hugging the bank means predators are nearby. Some of the best fishing moments happen when you're not just casting but observing. In these remote waters, every fish has a role, and understanding them can make you a better angler. Crystal Clear Lakes and a Short but Intense Fishing Season The lakes of the Northern Rockies aren't like most others. They are deep, clear, and packed with life. With diverse landscapes and rich water quality, these lakes create the perfect habitat for big, healthy fish. What Makes These Lakes Special? - Ultra-clear water – No murky lakes here, just pristine, see-through waters. - Rich food sources – Scuds (freshwater shrimp), snails, and chironomids fuel big trout. - Diverse habitats – From deep, rocky basins to shallow, weedy shoals, every lake is different. The fishing season here is short but intense. If you're after prime stillwater action, aim for June to September. For big pike, cooler water in June or late August is best. And if dry flies are your thing, mid-July to mid-August is peak time. Chasing Lake Trout: Timing, Depth, and Surprise Encounters Lake trout can be tricky on the fly, but with the right approach, they're not impossible. These fish love cold, oxygen-rich water, so they move deep when temperatures rise. But sometimes, they show up in the last place you'd expect. Flying into the Wild: The Ultimate Fishing Access Getting to Northern Rockies Adventures isn't just a journey—it's part of the experience. Float planes take anglers deep into untouched waters, where the only crowds are schools of hungry fish. The Bush Planes That Get You There - Caravan – A “rocket ship on floats,” built for speed and comfort. - Turbo Otter – A powerhouse that carries up to nine anglers in style. - King Air 300 – The luxury ride from Vancouver, flying right over the Rockies. Every flight brings jaw-dropping views, from rugged peaks to remote lakes. And with bubble windows, you're never missing a moment. No crowded boats, no long drives—just you, a plane, and the adventure ahead. Phil and Tim Flagler are teaming up for a special hosted trip at Northern Rockies Adventures from August 10–17, 2025. This trip offers a mix of stillwater and river fishing, with access to some of the wildest and most untouched fisheries in North America. What to Expect - Four flyouts to remote waters, targeting multiple species. - Guided and hosted fishing with Phil, Tim, and the Northern Rockies team. - Pre-trip Zoom sessions to go over logistics, gear, and flies. - Lodge accommodations with incredible food and views. If you're interested in joining the trip, email Daniel or Phil at daniel@nradventures.com or flycraft@shaw.ca or visit flycraftangling.com. Exploring the Northern Rockies by Float Plane Lance Egan spent an unforgettable week at Northern Rockies Adventures, fishing six out of seven days and staying at the lodge right off the Alaska Highway. The experience combined world-class fishing, comfortable accommodations, and breathtaking views. Lance landed rainbows, bull trout, grayling, northern pike, and lake trout while exploring the remote waters. With 132 million hectares of wilderness and 80+ fishing locations, the possibilities were endless. Even after a week, it felt like they had only scratched the surface. One of the biggest highlights? Flying in a float plane over untouched rivers and hidden lakes, picking the perfect spot to fish. With so many unexplored waters, it's an angler's paradise waiting to be discovered. A Fly Fishing Playground: Dry Flies, Streamers, and Bull Trout Lance mixed it up on this trip, fishing dry flies, streamers, and even topwater poppers. While dry fly fishing was his go-to, he also found success stripping streamers for bull trout, pike, and lake trout. Bull Trout: Targeted near drop-offs and inlets, using streamers like white sparkle minnows. - Pike: Explosive topwater eats on poppers and divers in shallow, clear lakes. - Grayling & Rainbows: Dry flies were the ticket, with spot-and-stalk fishing making for exciting takes.

Deep within Canada's Arctic territory lies a world most Canadians will never experience - a place where snowmobiles are purchased at the grocery store alongside milk, where polar bears rip steel doors off community freezers to steal walrus meat, and where lake trout grow to mythical proportions. This is the world Justin Jenkins has embraced, splitting his life between Winnipeg and remote Nunavut communities where he works in mental health.Justin's journey north began with a childhood fascination with lake trout after watching fishing shows featuring these mysterious cold-water giants. What started as an obsession evolved into a life-changing decision to move to Baker Lake, Nunavut - not for the quick money many southerners seek in northern jobs, but for the fishing opportunities and deeper connection to community.The conversation paints a vivid picture of life in Canada's most remote territory, where communities exist as islands with no roads connecting them to each other or the rest of Canada. Everything arrives by annual sea lift or expensive air freight. Yet within this isolation, Justin found purpose, describing how working in these tiny communities feels meaningful compared to southern life where one feels like "a grain of sand on the beach."Wildlife encounters feature prominently, from Justin's strategies for avoiding polar bears (more common in his current community of Chesterfield Inlet on Hudson Bay) to fascinating insights about barren-ground caribou and Arctic char. Particularly compelling is the contrast between southern conservation narratives about declining polar bear populations and the observations of Inuit elders who report seeing more bears than ever.The episode culminates with incredible fishing stories only possible in the Arctic - catching 70-80 lake trout in three hours, hand-wrestling a massive Arctic char, and landing a 46-inch lake trout that fought for 50 minutes during never-ending daylight. Justin's YouTube channel "Assorted Meats" captures these adventures, including fishing with unconventional items like tampons and sunglasses.As climate change transforms the Arctic faster than anywhere else, Justin's stories preserve a moment in time while honoring the resilience of communities that have thrived in this challenging environment for thousands of years. Join us for this remarkable conversation that will change how you see Canada's true north.

Send us a textDid you know that a lake trout's brain actually grows in the winter? That's right-when the water gets cold, these incredible fish devote more energy to their brains, enhancing their cognitive abilities for complex reasoning. This astonishing discovery challenges everything we thought we knew about fish behaviour!In this mind-blowing episode of Doc Talks Fishing, we sit down with fisheries scientist, Evan Versteeg, who discovered that lake trout brains *literally grow larger* in cold water when these cunning predators sharpen their cognitive abilities to outsmart prey and survive in frigid conditions. But when summer rolls around, their brains shrink as energy shifts to other survival needs. It's a stunning adaptation that reveals just how dynamic these fish truly are.Don't miss this mind-blowing deep dive into the science behind one of North America's most iconic fish!

Since the 1940's, Lake Trout have been extinct in all of the Great Lakes except Lake Superior. Pressure from commercial fishing as well as the invasion of sea lamprey devastated this native species, and the population in Lake Superior also suffered. For three generations an international team of scientists has been working to restore healthy Lake Trout populations in all the Great Lakes. In this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast, Walt Lindala and Frida Waara talk with Shawn Sitar, Fisheries Research Biologist with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to update the status of Lake Trout in Lake Superior.Key Takeaways:Shawn Sitar explains his deep connection to Lake Superior, describing it as his hometown and emphasizing its pristine, natural state.He outlines how Lake Superior stands out among the Great Lakes - not only as the largest by surface area but also as the deepest - making it a unique ecosystem.The episode details the historical collapse of lake trout populations due to overfishing and invasive species, and highlights the international recovery efforts led by the Great Lakes Fishery Commission.Shawn discusses the three-prong approach to lake trout recovery: suppression of sea lampreys, controlled fishing, and hatchery stocking.He also addresses the challenges posed by climate change and evolving research techniques, emphasizing the need for long-term monitoring and adaptive management.Notable Quotes:"I realized I look at Lake Superior as my hometown. I love that.""It is the largest lake on the earth in terms of surface area. So that's the statistics there. Lake Superior is also the deepest among the Great Lakes.""In fact, lake trout were extinct in all the Great Lakes except Lake Superior."“By the 1960s, if we look at Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario, the absence of lake trout, the top boss in the system, created a lot of havoc. And during that time period in the late 50s and 60s and 70s, there was another invasive called the alewife, which is a small oily fish from the Atlantic Ocean that came up. And it just basically boomed in the Great Lakes.""During my career working on Lake Superior and the Great Lakes, I've already seen surface temperatures increase from when I started till now. There's a lot of variation around it. And I think there's already research ongoing to assess the impact."Resources:Michigan Department of Natural Resources Website: https://www.michigan.gov/dnrGreat Lakes Fishery Commission Website: http://www.glfc.orgNational Parks of Lake Superior Foundation Website: https://nplsf.orgDocumentary “Fish Thief”: https://www.thefishthief.com/ Connect With Us:Website: https://nplsf.org/podcastFacebook: https://facebook.com/NPLSFSponsors:Cafe Imports: Supporting environmental sustainability in coffee-growing regions since 1993.

State and Federal wildlife officials are making plans to kill lake trout in the Swan Lake drainage. The agencies say core populations of native bull trout are at risk of extinction in coming decades due to competition and predation by nonnative lake trout.

Send us a Text Message.This week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast we continued our series about learning waterways and species of fish that are new to you by hiring a fishing guide. Your host Downrigger Dale sat down with fishing guide Don Wilkins of 56 Fishing Guide Service for an amazing discussion about learning fishing techniques with fishing technology and oh so much more. Don guides on Fort Peck Reservoir and though he is fairly new to guiding he is hardly new to fishing; he's been doing it his whole life. Rigger got to know Don through the Captain of the Montana Outdoor Radio Show. It seemed like every time Rigger and the Captain would see Don out on the water he was reeling in a huge Salmon, Lake Trout or Walleye. In fact, Don was the first person that Rigger had met that could catch the big salmon through the ice on Fort Peck. You will also learn about how Don uses his Garmin Livescope to help teach his clients jigging and other techniques.  It really is amazing how it shows the jig and the fish approaching it and how his clients can see how the fish reacts to their technique. When you listen you will also hear Don go into detail about the gear, lures, bait and more that for he uses to catch the different species of fish in Fort Peck, and of course the techniques he uses to catch the King of the Fort Peck fish, the mighty King Salmon. WARNING: once you listen to all the things he tells Rigger about catching the incredible King Salmon you might just catch a nasty case of Black Jaw Fever! That is name for the addiction you will have once you catch on of those incredibly powerful fish. Just know that currently there is no cure for Black Jaw Fever. Don Wilkins can ease your symptoms by teaching you how to catch them but that just leaves you wanting more once the thrill wears off. Gang, DO NOT miss this Podcast!! You will learn a TON from Don not just about catching Kings but about catching other species as well!If you want to learn more about Don Wilkins click here to view the 56 Fishing Guide Service, LLC Facebook page.

Send us a Text Message.This week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast your host Downrigger Dale and the Captain of the Montana Outdoor Radio Show sat down with Fort Peck Fishing Guide, Scott Collinsworth. Scott and his wife Jess are also the owners of Fort Peck Marina on the incredible Fort Peck Reservoir. One of the many topics that Rigger and the Captain talked with Scott about is the idea of someone that is not familiar with such a massive lake like Fort Peck, using a Fishing Guide like Scott to learn where to find amd catch all the different species of fish that the lake has to offer. They talked all about how to find the “Big Uns” like, well, none other than the King of Fort Peck Reservoir the Mighty Chinook Salmon! Catching 20 plus pounders is not unusual but as Scott explained it can be a real grind for even the most experienced fishermen that has been fishing Fort Peck for years. Thus, Rigger's idea of hiring a guide like Scott if you are a newcomer to the 134 mile long lake. The Big Blackjaws were not all the boys discussed, however. Scott also gave out all kinds of great advice and described some of his most successful techniques for finding and catching HUGE Walleyes, some VERY FEISTY Smallmouth Bass, big Pike and Massive Lake Trout! When you listen to this Podcast it will be like getting a personal seminar from one of the top guides in all of Montana. Better yet why not go out fishing with Scott one of these days? Another thing you will learn about when you listen to the Podcast is a TON about Fort Peck Marina, the campground, tackle shop and the wonderful restaurant and bar. Make sure you listen to the entire podcast because there is fantastic advice that you will get from jigging techniques, tackle suggestions, when to go after the big Salmon, and much, much more. As Rigger put it; “Scott is an incredible teacher, he explains things so dang well and his ideas and overall approach to becoming a better fishermen are fascinating. I can't wait to get out on the water and try what I have learned!! Lookout Blackjaws I'm coming for ya!!”Links:For more information about Fort Peck Marina, the Campground, Restaurant, Tackle Shop and the Guide Service just click here. If you have questions for Scott, just call and leave a message for him at (406) 526-3442 and he will call you back after he gets done guiding some lucky folks through another great day out on Fort Peck Reservoir. Make sure you shoot your old buddy Downrigger Dale an email too and let him know what you thought of this podcast and give him your ideas for future podcast topics!

Brian Gambell from Gambler Rigs joins the Great Lakes Fishing Podcast for Episode #209. Topics include trophy lake trout fishing, epic lake trout destinations, and tagging lake trout. This is a recording from the 2024 Greater Niagara Fishing Expo back in February. Captain Vince Pierleoni is cohosting with me on this episode.

An article by Darryl Choronzey explains their findings while watching Cameras underwater trolling the Great Lakes. Although this article is focused on Lake Trout - this section discusses other species habits as well for following trolled lures in the open Lake - Steelhead (Rainbow Trout), Coho Salmon, Chinook Salmon and Lake Trout are discussed.

Gord and Liam sit down this week with renown lake trout scientist, (Dr.) Chris Therrien, who has spent years studying the habits and habitat of lake trout. Chris shocks the boys explaining how cold water loving lake trout will venture to feed into the last place you'd ever expect to catch them — hot shoreline water in the middle of summer. He also spells out why he would never fish for lake trout in a lake that didn't offer ciscoes as the principal prey species. And are you ready for this: lake trout suffer beriberi disease when smelt are introduced to the water. If you think you know something about the biggest trout that swims, tune into this episode and prepare to have yourmind blown wide open.
