Lake Trout Fishing with Wolfe Outfitters

Northern Michigan is home to some truly spectacular lake trout fishing. Wolfe Outfitter's Captains and Guides specialize in light-line presentations for these amazing and beautiful fish. Casting and vertical jigging are the two primary techniques used to target lake trout, and with rod and reel in-hand, customers have the opportunity to land these feisty fish using light bass tackle. Recent dietary changes in lake trout have led to these fish being just as excellent a table fare as the highly sought-after salmon. Wolfe Outfitters fishes for lake trout on Grand Traverse Bays, Platte Bay, and out of the Port of Frankfort. Wolfe Outfitters' DNR inspected boats comfortably and safely fish these big bodies of water.
