Knife River Lake Trout Success with Trolling & Bottom Bouncing

Action-packed day from the get-go! Kevin and their crew joined us for a summer midday trip on Knife River under partly cloudy skies with solid water conditions. The weather stayed consistent throughout our time out, making for comfortable fishing conditions on the lake. We launched our 5-hour Guided Fishing Experience with Captain Paul Morris for Beginners through Duluth Superior Charter Fishing LLC.

With our gear rigged and ready, we focused our efforts on trolling the deeper sections while mixing in some bottom bouncing and drift fishing techniques. Kevin's crew connected with some nice Lake Trout during our session. Knife River delivers excellent opportunities for these techniques because the lake structure and depth changes create perfect holding spots for trout. We wrapped up the trip with great catches and everyone getting hands-on experience with multiple fishing methods!
