I love to fly fish for lake whitefish! They are definitely hard fighting fish. My buddy Doug and I spent 6 hours at Sylvan Lake tangling with lake whites today. The water temperature was 59F in the early hours. We fly fish for the lake whitefish in the same manner as we do trout! Once we figure out the right depth, we decipher what the lake whites will strike! Today is was bloodworms. We saw a lot of chironomids on the water, the whites were also gulping caddis on the surface. Fly fishing in 11 to 12 feet of water anywhere from 9 to 10 feet deep kept us in very steady action! If you have not tried it, I would definitely recommend giving it a try! At times we connect with both walleye and pike with bloodworms and chironomids as well!
