Late fall to late spring the action seems to be on top. If you don’t have downriggers you can set up a 3 way swivel with a short dropper line to an 8 or 10 oz. Anything from swimbaits to J-plugs can also be affective on the wire. You can use scent and the action of the dodger will make the minnow move around even if it's dead. I like to use a large dodger with a 14-18 inch leader with a size 4 steelhead or salmon hook and a small minnow. The fish will be stacked up in areas where there are drop offs and ledges. Watch your fishfinder for fish right on the bottom and slow troll through them. They will take your bait if presented in front of them. Lake Trout Mackinaw Fishing At Caples Lake Early summer to fall the Lake Trout Mackinaw are down deep feeding on tiny freshwater shrimp. The best patterns for me are rainbow trout, plain silver, brown trout, in various sizes of medium to large. No flashers or dodgers are needed, they are best fished for by using a medium to large stickbait tied on with a Rapala knot to allow more action of the lure, and no hardware or swivels. Brown Trout Fishing At Caples Lake Big Brown’s are aggressive fish and typically hit a lure out of aggression or to devour it, they hit hard! Brown’s are mostly targeted by trolling as close to the shoreline around big underwater boulders. It is also good fishing by the powerhouse, in the Hamilton Branch, and around Prattville other water inlets. Another great bet if you plan to do some trolling is to troll along the east shore and by the dam, or near the jetties to the Forest Service boat ramp on the west shore. The best fishing for rainbow trout is along either side of the peninsula, or in Big Springs Cove. The best way to target trophy trout is to find them on your fishfinder, and start trolling on a downrigger with a Kastmaster’s, needlefish, wedding ring’s tipped with a minnow or a worm, trout spoons, small apex, small stickbaits that are silver or rainbow trout pattern, and small flatfish.
