Default Re: 8.5lb. Merrill Creek Lake Trout:

Andy u know how to catch them.........12 dozen herring and lots of rods! Thats a beautiful fish, I love them big trouts

but seriously, theres rly 3 methods. Live bait either drifted or anchored up, u can weight them down or let them live line. Troll either flatline, dipsy/weights or downriggers or any combo. Jig em up w either live bait or your choice of tubes/swimbaits. And of course method #4 theres always dumb luck from the shore in the right place right time deal. As with all methods, the better your electronics and your equipment the higher ur success rate will be, and with MC as with other electric only waters, bring LOTSA good batteries for your TM lol
