| My favorite for deep trolling is a SUTTON #44.. Typically,
I catch Salmon and/or Lake Trout depending on the depths
that we are trolling at... These SUTTON #44's come in a
variety of styles, (two tone, crinkle cut, solid silver,
etc.) but I find I have my best luck on the crinkle cut..

| For years, when I fished on Sebago Lake in Maine for Land Locked
Salmon, I was taught to use the following rig. Either a plastic
keel or leaded keel (depending on where you were taking it down
to) this had a set of #1 Davies spoons (silver) attached to it with
an 18 inch leader to which was attached a flat fish. Color varied
with my temperment and the day. I was never skunked with this rig
in all the years I fished there. I am looking forward to trying
this down here in Georgia. We have some mighty lakes here that I
am dying to get out and do more fishing on. Perhaps after year end
here. Oh one note, the trick to this rig is to have the trolling
speed just right. The spoons should sway back and forth not spin
violently. Good fishing.

etc. We use mostly metal (spoons) for Trout and Salmon. Some of
the goodies are, Sutton, Alpena Diamond, Northport Nailer, Flutter
Spoon, Northern King, Evil Eye and good old Cleo's. Speed is also
VERY important. You don't want to mix lures that run at low speed
with those that run at the high end. You also don't want to fish
a spoon too fast so it simply "Spins". They are designed to flip-flop
back and forth, not spin like a large spinner! Color---You name
it! Depends on light, depth and water color. In any given situation
you can catch fish on any particular color. The basics that seem
to work best are silver, blue, lime green and orange (and in
combinations).
I suspect this has really cleared the whole thing up for you. Suggest
you contact and observe the locals for the best info.
