Moskey Basin Fishing Reports

Are the Salmon or Lake Trout biting? I'll be canoeing and fishing on my way to Moskey in three days.

Moskey...a definite no! Salmon aren't in yet and no lake trout caught in the area, unless you're jiggin in the deep water. North side of the island was good though. Around Blake Point and from the Pallisades to Duncan Bay, dropped a line and had a nice laker on with in 5 minutes.

Caught a bunch of lake trout off of Scoville point and Red Rock. I was using a Hot Lipps deep diver, looked like a small rainbow trout. Black spoons were the bomb with a Dippsy Diver. My buddy nailed a real nice King Salmon too. Water was 40 degrees. Merritt Lane is a good place. Only caught one laker near Caribou Island. Just got back two weeks ago.
