Great info Wakina, Having fished Lake Huron and Lake Michigan for 30+ years it is difficult for me to imagine Lake Trout in this area. With that being said I appreciate your facts, Wakina, and hopefully they, the Lake Trout, will be productive. They are a slow growing fish and take years to even reach maturity for spawning.
There is all kinds of information available, http://www.worldfishingnetwork.com/tips/post/lake-trout has some good reading. It seems you rarely hear of a Salmon, and a few Steelhead west of the Vermillion being caught. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
