Early-season lake trout action

I write my column this week from Chattanooga, Tenn., where I’m spending some time fishing at Lake Chickamauga—site of the final FLW Tour tournament at the end of June.

I decided to stay down south until after the next event taking place next week at Grand Lake, Okla. and figured that spending some time scouting Chickamauga before the official practice immediately prior to the event might pay off.
