Trophy lakers a trend

Charter fishing out of Leland has been very good for lake trout with more salmon already showing up in catches than in recent years.

“We’ve got good lake trout fishing,” said Jack Duffy, a veteran charter captain who runs out of Fishtown. “The water warmed up so they are scattered now, so you have to work for them.”

But not too much. Captain Bob Smith returned Monday morning from a fivehour charter with eight lake trout that went four to 16 pounds.
