I have bucktailed on Quesnel Lake a few times in the past and done really well on rainbow trout. I am going to be there again in Sept with a couple of friends and they want to catch some lake trout. I have downriggers on the boat, but really am not familiar with depths, or areas to fish for lakers there.
Does anyone have experience downrigging for lakers on Quesnel Lake? I'm thinking of using apexes and rappalas, will watch the finder to see if we can locate them, but not sure what depth to start at....80 ft? 120 ft?
What size do they average? I know there are some big ones in the lake, but I would prefer to use light action gear if possible.
Personally, I would rather just bucktail for big bows, but my buddies are hot to catch a few lakers. Any help is appreciated.
