In Wisconsin, it seems that each year offers a pair of significant fishing lulls.
Though they vary in length, there are two awkward times of fishing purgatory when ice fishing isn’t quite possible, but open water fishing seems like a waste of time.

A handful of years ago, my friend Brandon decided to organize a group duck hunt on Castle Rock Lake in Central Wisconsin.

Lake trout get a bad rap.
Many people don’t consider these cold-water dwellers to be desirable table fare due to the high amount of natural fat these fish carry.
Personally, I find lakers ideal candidates for smoking because the smoke adheres to the fat and creates an incredible flavor.
But if that’s not your jam, don’t fret. You are just a few ingredients away from some delicious fish.
This recipe is simple, relatively fast, and easily adjusted to fit your tastes.

The same can be said about gear selection. Everyone has their own taste in equipment, but keeping an open mind can lead you to new tools that will improve your hunt.
