Lake Trout and Hot Wings | OTW Podcast Ep. 71

Lake Trout grow to large sizes, feed aggressively, and can be caught ice fishing, fly-fishing, trolling, and jigging. They are widespread in New York and Northern New England, and can even be caught in New Jersey. They are a worthy freshwater target and they swim in some of the most beautiful waters in the Northeast.
