Guide’s Tips & Notes

Advice for This Week
Focus on fishing the North Shore, where nice trout are still being caught. Use long leaders (5 to 10 feet) and cast far to get your bait into the deeper, cooler water. Add extra scent to your PowerBait to improve attraction—even though PowerBait is already scented, that little extra can make a difference.
Changes We’re Seeing
Trout are holding deep in the cold water along the North Shore. The bite is steady but requires patience and precision with longer casts and leaders.
Predictions for Next Week
Expect the North Shore to remain productive for trout fishing. Anglers who use long leaders and scent-enhanced PowerBait will continue to have the best chances.

Chrome Killer™ Scent by Big Nate

When I'm running chrome spoons and metallic lures for big trout and salmon, Chrome Killer is the fish attractant I trust to close the deal. It's a UV-enhanced oil formula specifically engineered for chrome and reflective finishes, loaded with real baitfish oils, amino acids, and powerful bite stimulants that chemically react with the metallic lure surface to create a multi-sensory attractant combination that triggers strikes even from fish that have already passed on the presentation. I apply it directly to my dodgers, spoons, and flashers before every troll, and I've personally watched it convert follows into strikes and cold spreads into bent rods when no other adjustment was working. If you're running chrome hardware without Chrome Killer, you're leaving fish in the water.
