Lakers like cold water. Salmon now are coming at 20-30ft so I would go deeper than that. Also, troll very slow, slower than you would for salmon. The fishlakewinni site is a good place to go. If you have problems getting lakers and really want to get them call Travis (Coolwater) from that site. He runs charters in August that targets Lakers and it is not uncommon for him to boat 15 in a morning. If you are using spoons, I tend to do best on lakers with small spoons. Copper Mooselooks and white with red dot well. Also copper colored topgun with black spots. Just make sure you have action at the slow troll rate.
