Trolling For Trout in Lakes - By Salmon-Trout-Steelheader
For trolling in lakes, trolling Hot Shot Plugs, Spinners, and Wedding Rings work well. Hot Shots are small plugs used for Trout, Bass, and Panfish. For fishing them, let out about 20ft of line, and start trolling it around. They will dive from 3-7 feet, depending on which size you use. When you get the hit, you will know, but don't set the hook immediately. Wait until the fish jumps, or is pulling steadily for about 4 seconds, then give the hookset. For trolling spinners, they can be trolled the same way as the Hot Shots, cast them out about 20 feet(depending on depth of lake, deeper, let out a little more line), and start trolling. About every 30 seconds, twitch it, or change the direction of the movement. Also every once in a while, slow the troll down, and then speed up again to increase the action, and maybe entice the bite. For trolling the Wedding Ring, you can tip it with a piece of corn, or a piece of worm. A lot of the time, people will troll them with a small dodger, 3" or 4" work well, and tip it with worm. Let the lure/dodger combo out, again about 20-30FT, and troll around like that. In smaller lakes, troll Wedding Rings with a medium sized split shot weight, and the worm or corn.
